Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a review of a judgment is a serious step and should only be entertained in cases of glaring omissions or grave errors, as per the established principles of judicial review. The Court emphasized that a mere repetition of previously rejected arguments does not suffice for a review, and the finality of earlier orders must be respected. Consequently, the review petition was dismissed, reinforcing the need for judicial efficiency and the proper use of court resources.
