Case Note & Summary
The Review Application was filed by Arkay Energy (Rameswaram) Private Limited to review and recall an order dated 18-03-2024 passed in OSA (CAD) No.157 of 2023. The applicant contended that there was a wrong application of mind to facts, mischaracterization of issues, ignorance of binding precedent, and non-consideration of vital evidence. The court examined the grounds raised and found that the applicant's claims did not substantiate an error apparent on the record. The court emphasized that the review jurisdiction could not be expanded to re-adjudicate merits or facts already considered. Consequently, the court dismissed the review application, stating that the grounds raised were unwarranted and did not meet the criteria for review. The connected Miscellaneous Petition was also closed without costs.
