This is a review petition filed against the order of the Supreme Court dated 8-3-1980 passed in Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No.212 of 1980. The core legal question before the court was whether sufficient grounds existed to warrant a review of the court's earlier order. The Supreme Court heard the arguments presented by the learned Advocate-on-Record and held that no proper ground for review of the order had been made out. Consequently, the court dismissed the review petition. The key principle laid down is that a review of a court's order requires valid and proper grounds, failing which the petition must fail.

Questions settled in this judgment
  • Whether proper grounds were made out for the review of the court's order dated 8th March, 1980?
  • Can a review petition be entertained without establishing proper legal grounds for review?
