Case Note & Summary
The case involved a Review Petition filed by Smt. Kiran Devi against Ravindra Kumar Yadav in the Supreme Court of India under its inherent jurisdiction. The petitioner sought review of an order dated 9.7.2021, with a delay of 17 days in filing the petition, which was condoned by the court. The core legal issue was whether there was any error apparent on record justifying interference with the earlier order. The petitioner's arguments were not detailed in the judgment text, but the court noted that the order under review was passed after considering rival submissions and in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case. The court analyzed the contents of the Review Petition and concluded that no error apparent on record was found. The court reasoned that the absence of such an error precluded interference, leading to the dismissal of the Review Petition. The decision upheld the earlier order, with the court dismissing the petition and favoring the respondent in the underlying matter.
