Dated this the 3rd day of February 2026
COMMON ORDER
P.V.BALAKRISHNAN,J
These review petitions are filed by the appellants in
W.A.Nos.2090 & 2099 of 2024 and W.A.Nos.76 & 94/2025,
seeking review of the common judgment dated 27.8.2025
passed in them.
2. Heard Adv.Mohammed Shah, the learned counsel
appearing for the review petitioners in R.P.Nos.1286/2025,
1289/2025 & R.P.No.1299/2025, and Sri.Thomas Cherian (party
in person) appearing for the review petitioner in
R.P.No.1289/2025.
3. It is to be seen that all these appeals were disposed of
by a common judgment, dated 27.8.2025 after hearing the
parties elaborately. Now what the review petitioners are
attempting in these review petitions is essentially a rehearing
of the writ appeals on merits.
R.P.Nos.1286/2025 in WA No.94/2025 & others
: 11 :-
2026:KER:8366
4. It is a settled law, as held by the Apex Court in the
decisions in Sanjay Kumar Agarwal and Ors. v. State Tax
Officer(1) and Ors [AIR 2023 SC 5636], Lily Thomas v.
Union of India (2000 (6) SCC 224) and Thungabhadra
Industries Ltd. v. Government of Andhra Pradesh [AIR
1964 SC 1372], that a review is not to be an attempted
rehearing of the appeal in disguise. Further, these review
petitions also do not point out any circumstances of substantial
and compelling character, requiring this Court to invoke the
review jurisdiction. That apart, we will also take note that
many grounds now raised in these review petitions have not
been raised in the writ petitions and in the writ appeals.
Ergo, we do not find any error apparent on the face of the
record warranting these review petitions to be entertained.
Resultantly, these review petitions are dismissed.
