What is a review petition?
A review petition is an application that can be filed by any party to a case requesting the court to review its own final judgment or order. It is filed in the same court that passed the original order or judgment which is sought to be reviewed. The review petition is filed under specific provisions like Order XLVII Rule 1 of Civil Procedure Code or Article 137 of the Constitution of India. The objective is to point out an error or omission in the decision and seek rectification or reversal from the court.
