THUNGABHADRA INDUSTRIES LTD. vs THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH

The Supreme Court held that under Order 47, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, an error apparent on the face of the record allows for review of a decision. The Court ruled that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application for a certificate of fitness under Article 133(1) was erroneous as it involved substantial questions of law. The Court emphasized that objections to the maintainability of an appeal cannot be raised after special leave is granted, unless new grounds arise post-grant.
