A Review Petition is filed before the Supreme Court of India when a party believes that there is an error, mistake, or oversight in the judgment delivered by the Court. Under Article 137 of the Constitution of India, the Supreme Court has the power to review its own judgments or orders.
The purpose of a review petition is not to re-argue the entire case but to bring to the Court’s attention any apparent error, violation of natural justice, or important fact that was not considered during the original hearing. The Court examines whether there is a clear mistake or legal issue that requires correction.
Review petitions are generally considered in chambers by the judges who delivered the original judgment. In exceptional circumstances, the Court may decide to hear the matter in open court.
Proper legal drafting and strong grounds are essential when filing a review petition. Our legal team provides professional assistance in analyzing the judgment, identifying valid grounds for review, preparing the petition, and filing it before the Supreme Court of India.
