The Bombay High Court dismissed a review plea filed by an LL.M. student of MNLU Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar seeking permission to appear for exams despite low attendance. The Court held review cannot act as an appeal and rejected attempts to reopen already decided issues.
The Supreme Court clarifies Order 47 Rule 1 CPC, emphasizing that a review cannot be an appeal in disguise, defining the scope and limitations of review jurisdiction under civil procedure law.
The Supreme Court has emphasised that reopening concluded cases would disrupt the justice delivery system. It warned that such actions could lead to “chaos in the administration of justice,” stressing the importance of finality in litigation.
