Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of review petitions following the dismissal of special leave petitions (SLPs) by non-speaking orders. Citing the judgments in Abbai Maligai Partnership Firm v. K. Santhakumaran and Kunhay Ammed v. State of Kerala, the Court held that a review petition filed after the dismissal of an SLP constitutes an abuse of process and is not maintainable. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the review petition, reinforcing the principle that such petitions should not be entertained post-SLP dismissal.
