COLLECTOR DIST.GWALIOR vs CINE EXHIBITORS P.LTD.

The Supreme Court dismissed the applications for clarification/modification of its earlier judgment dated 11.1.2012, asserting that such applications effectively sought a review of the judgment, which is impermissible under Order XVIII Rule 5 of the Supreme Court Rules, 1966. The Court emphasized that the applicants were attempting to recall and substitute directions from the previous judgment, which was not allowed. The decision relied on the precedent set in Delhi Administration v. Gurdip Singh Urban and others (2000) 7 SCC 296, reinforcing the principle that review applications cannot be disguised as clarification requests.
