How does a court deal with a review petition?
When a review petition is filedthe court considers it only on the basis of pleadings and documents on record. No fresh evidence can be presented at this stage. If the grounds for review are found unsatisfactorythe court may dismiss the review petition without issuing notice to the opposite party. If a prima facie case for review is made outnotice is issued to the opposite party to seek response. After hearing argumentsthe court may altermodify or reverse the earlier judgment as deemed fit.
