Case Note & Summary
The petitioner, C. Sreenivasan, filed a review petition under Order 47 Rule 1 read with Section 114 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, seeking review of an order dated 21.04.2020 passed by the High Court of Karnataka in Writ Appeal No.3088/2019. The petitioner appeared in person. The court, comprising the Chief Justice and a judge, heard the petitioner and found that there was no error apparent on the face of the record. The court noted that even otherwise, no ground for review was made out. Consequently, the review petition was rejected. The judgment is brief and does not elaborate on the underlying facts of the original writ appeal or the specific grounds raised by the petitioner. The court simply applied the settled principle that review is not an appeal in disguise and is limited to correcting errors apparent on the record.
