A Review Petition is filed when a party seeks reconsideration of a judgment or order passed by a court due to an apparent mistake, error, or new evidence that was not available at the time of the original decision. It provides an opportunity for the court to correct its own decision to prevent injustice.
Under Article 137 of the Constitution of India, the Supreme Court of India has the authority to review its own judgments or orders. Similarly, High Courts also have the power to review their decisions under relevant provisions of procedural laws.
A review petition can be filed when there is a clear error apparent on the face of the record, discovery of new and important evidence, or any other sufficient reason that justifies reconsideration of the judgment. However, a review petition is not an appeal and cannot be used to re-argue the entire case.
Our legal team assists clients in analyzing the judgment, identifying valid grounds for review, drafting the petition carefully, and representing the matter before the appropriate court.
