Case Note & Summary
The case involved a review petition filed by Vimla Devi against the decision of the High Court which had allowed a Second Appeal and restored the judgment of the Trial Court. The Supreme Court considered the delay of 45 days in filing the review petition and condoned it. Upon reviewing the matter, the court found that the grounds presented in the review petition did not demonstrate any apparent error on record that would warrant interference with the High Court's ruling. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the review petition and affirmed the High Court's decision, leading to the dismissal of the Special Leave Petition as well. The judgment was delivered by a bench comprising Justices Uday Umesh Lalit, Hemant Gupta, and S. Ravindra Bhat on November 16, 2021.
