Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the power of review under Order LXVII Rule 1 is limited to cases of new evidence or apparent errors, and cannot be used to re-evaluate findings of fact as if in an appellate capacity. The Court found that the High Court had improperly reversed its earlier findings regarding possession of land in a review application, which constituted a grave miscarriage of justice. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeals and set aside the High Court's order.
