NORTHERN INDIA CATERERS (INDIA) LTD. vs LT. GOVERNOR OF DELHI

The Supreme Court reiterated that the power to review its judgments is conferred by Article 137 of the Constitution, and such review is permissible only under specific grounds as outlined in Order XLVII, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court held that a review cannot be equated with an original hearing and can only be granted in cases of glaring omissions or patent mistakes. In the present case, the Court found no error apparent on the face of the record regarding the liability to sales tax, as the facts were undisputed and the earlier judgment was based on the established factual context.
