5. At this stage, it would be appropriate to notice the provisions contained in Order 47, Rule 9 of the CPC, which reads as under :-
“Order XLVII, Rule 9 of the CPC
9. Bar of certain application. - no application to review an order made on an application for a review or a decree or order passed or made on a review shall be entertained.”

7. The power of review can be exercised for correction of a mistake and not to substitute a view. Such powers can be exercised within the limits of the statute dealing with the exercise of power. The review cannot be treated as an appeal in disguise. The mere possibility of two views on the subject is not a ground for review. Once a review petition is dismissed no further petition of review can be entertained. [ See Lily Thomas and others Vs. Union of India and others reported in (2000) 6 SCC 224 ]
8. In view of the provisions contained in Order 47 Rule 9 of the CPC and the law laid down by the supreme Court in aforesaid case, objection raised by the Registry is found to be approprate, therefore, review petition is dismissed in view of provisions contained in Order 47 Rule 9 of the CPC and the objection raised by the Registry is hereby upheld.
