LAWS(SC)-1999-4-145
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
Decided on April 07,1999

SHANTI DEVI Appellant
VERSUS
STATE OF HARYANA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

- (1.) We have seen the office report dated 17/3/1999. The defects pointed out therein are not removed. The delay of 761 days is not sufficiently explained. Hence, this review petition is liable to be dismissed on that ground alone.
(2.) However, we have gone through the review petition and the grounds urged therein. The contention that the judgment sought to be reviewed was overruled in another case subsequently is no ground for reviewing the said decision. Explanation to Order XLVII Rule I of the Code of Civil Procedure clearly rules out such type of review proceedings. Explanation to Order XLVII Rule I reads as under: "The fact that the decision on a question of law on which the judgment of the court is based has been reversed or modified by the subsequent decision of a superior court in any other case, shall not be a ground for the review of such judgment. "the same provisions by analogy usefully apply to the present proceedings.
(3.) Hence, even on merits the review petition is liable to fail.;
