Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India addressed a Review Petition filed by Savita Ambadas Kulkarni against the State of Maharashtra and others. The Review Petition was a follow-up to a Special Leave Petition that had been previously rejected after hearing the counsel for both parties. The petitioner sought to challenge the earlier decision, claiming that there were grounds for review. However, the court determined that the grounds presented in the Review Petition did not reveal any error apparent on the record that would justify interference with the earlier ruling. Consequently, the court dismissed the Review Petition and also rejected the application for oral hearing, indicating that the petitioner did not provide sufficient basis for reconsideration. The decision was made by a bench comprising Justices Uday Umesh Lalit, S. Ravindra Bhat, and Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha on 10th May 2022.
