Comments
(i) Subsequent event may be taken into consideration by the Court, while exercising review jurisdiction; Board of Control of Cricket in India v. Netaji Cricket Club, AIR 2005 SC 592.
(ii) The review petition was filed well within the time and since to review petition was not being decided by the High Court, the appellant filed the special leave petition against main judgment of High Court. Hence the Supreme Court overruled the contention that earlier special leave petition filed by appellant having been dismissed by the Supreme Court the second SLP was not maintainable being barred by the principle of res judicata; K. Rajamouli v. A.V.K.N. Swamy, AIR 2001 SC 2316.
