2 He further submits that if the review petition is not allowed, a great prejudiced would be caused to the petitioner. In these circumstances, the review petition may be allowed and the order impugned may be reviewed.
3.
Learned counsel for the respondent No. 1 submits that the father of the petitioner was working on the post of Assistant Pumpman and in the year 2009 he continued in service until his demise on 30.04.2021 due to complications arising from COVID-19. It is submitted that in order to regularize the petitioner and other similarly placed daily wagers the said supernumerary posts were created therefore, the respondents cannot be allowed to take a different stand at this stage. He placed reliance upon the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in case of Sanjay Kumar Agarwal Vs. State Tax Officer reported in 2023 SCC OnLine SC 1406.
4.
Learned counsel for the respondent No. 2 would oppose the submission.
5. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court finds that the grounds raised in the present review petition are essentially on merits of the original matter. The petitioner had sufficient opportunity to raise all such grounds at the time of hearing of the writ petition. It has already been dealt with in the impugned order. It is well settled that the scope of review jurisdiction is extremely limited and cannot be invoked as an appeal in disguise. In the present case, no error apparent on the face of the record or any other valid ground for review has been made out. Accordingly, the order sought to be reviewed does not warrant interference by this Court.
6. Consequently, the review petition being devoid of merit, is hereby dismissed. d/- Sd Sd/- s/- (Sachin Singh Rajput) Judge
