Section 114 CPC & Order XLVII Rule 1 | Review Petition Requires 'Error Apparent on Record', Not Mere Legal Reassessment: Kerala HC
Kerala High Court clarifies that review petitions under the Civil Procedure Code must demonstrate an 'error apparent on the face of the record', not just a change in legal interpretation or subsequent judgments. The ruling reinforces that review jurisdiction is limited to correcting manifest errors, not re-litigating settled issues, impacting service law disputes involving retirement benefits and administrative orders.
