HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. ASHUTOSH KUMAR
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MICHAEL ZOTHANKHUMA
25.09.2025
(Ashutosh Kumar, CJ)
This review petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking a review of
the judgment dated 24.07.2025, passed by this Court in WA No. 396/2023.
The learned counsel for the petitioners/Mr. R. M. Choudhury presses the
same set of facts, which formed the basis of the arguments when the writ
appeal was first decided.
We are afraid whether in review jurisdiction, a case could be re-heard.
No good ground has been made out by the petitioners for reviewing the
judgment dated 24. 07.2025.
The review petition is dismissed.
