But, there are definitive limits to the exercise of the power of review. But, there are definitive limits to the exercise of the power of review. The power of review may be exercised on the discovery of new and important matter of evidence which, after the exercise of due diligence was not within the knowledge of the person seeking the review of could not be produced by him at the time when the order was made; it may be exercised where some mistake or error apparent on the face of the record is fuound; it may also be exercised on any analogous ground. But, it may not be exercised on the ground that the decision was erroneous on merits. That would be the province of a Court of Appeal. A power of review is not to be confused with appellate power which maye nable an Appellate Court to correct all manner of errors committed by the Subordinate Court." 6- orZeku izkFkZuki= esa mRiUu fd;s x;s vk{ksiksa dks e/;utj j[krs gq, tc eSaus mijksDr ewyHkwr fl)kUr dks /;ku esa j[kdj vkyksP; fu.kZ; dk v/;;u fd;k gS rks eq>s ;g fy[kus esa fdlh izdkj dk ladksp ugha gS fd mDr fu.kZ; dkuwuh :i ls lqn`< gS ,oa bl fu.kZ; esa ,slh dksbZ tkfgjk xaHkhj rF;kRed vFkok dkuwuh =qfV dh vksj izkFkhZx.k ds fo}ku vf/koDrk gekjk /;ku vkdf"kZr ugha dj lds gS ftlds vk/kkj ij mDr fu.kZ; dk iqufoZyksdu fd;k tk ldsaA 7- mijksDr ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa eSa utjlkuh ds izkFkZuk i= esa mBk;s x;s vk{ksiksa esa dksbZ cy gksuk ugha ekurk gwa vkSj uk gh vkyksP; fu.kZ; esa fdlh izdkj dh tkfgjk dkuwuh =qfV error apparent on the face of the record gksuk ekurk gwa vr% utjlkuh dk izkFkZuki= [kkfjt fd;s tkus ;ksX; le>rk gwaA 8- ifj.kker% izkFkhZx.k dh vksj ls izLrqr utjlkuh dk izkFkZuk i= vLohdkj dj [kkfjt fd;k tkrk gSA fu.kZ; [kqys U;k;ky; esa lquk;k x;kA
