2. Learned counsel Sri Nandeesh for the petitioner is present before the Court physically and represents Sri D.Gangadhar who is on record.
3. Learned counsel Sri Vijetha R.Naik for respondent Nos.1 to 7 is present before the Court physically inclusive of learned AGA for respondent Nos. 8 to 10.
4. Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 7 has facilitated the
order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Curative Pet(C) No.272/2016 in R.P.(C) No.175/2016 in SLP (C) No.34862/2013 dated 26.07.2016 wherein it is observed that
“we have gone through the Curative Petition and the relevant documents. In our opinion, no case is made out within the parameters indicated in the decision of this Court in Rupa Ashok Hurra vs. Ashok Hurra and another, reported in 2002 (4) SCC 388. Hence, the Curative Petition is dismissed.”
5. However, keeping in view the submission made by the counsel for the parties and also keeping in view Order 47 Rule 1 of CPC, it is relevant to refer the reliance of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of SANJAY KUMAR AGARWAL vs.

NC: 2025:KHC:6567-DB RP No. 470 of 2016
STATE TAX OFFICER ((2023) SCC ONLINE 1406) wherein it is held as under:
10. It is also well settled that a party is not entitled to seek a review of a judgment delivered by this Court merely for the purpose of a rehearing and a fresh decision of the case. The normal principle is that a
judgment pronounced by the Court is final, and departure from that principle is justified only when circumstances of a substantial and compelling character make it necessary to do so.
“11. In PARSION DEVI AND OTHERS VS. SUMITRI DEVI AND OTHERS ((1997) 8 SCC 715)), this Court made very pivotal observations: -
“9. Under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC a judgment may be open to review inter alia if there is a mistake or an error apparent on the face of the record. An error which is not self-evident and has to be detected by a process of
reasoning, can hardly be said to be an error apparent on the face of the record justifying the court to exercise its power of review under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC. In exercise of the jurisdiction under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC it is not permissible for an erroneous decision to be “reheard and corrected”. A review petition, it must be remembered has a limited purpose and cannot be allowed to be “an appeal in disguise.”
