BASANT & M.N. KRISHNAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------- R.P.No.720 of 2005 in O.P.No.15835 of 1996-I ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of June, 2009 ORDER Krishnan,J. This review petition is filed against the judgment in O.P.No.15835/96 dated 16/2/05. The said Original Petition was dismissed by this Court finding that there was no infirmity in the orders passed by the competent authority. The Division Bench of this Court had considered all the points; one with respect to the factual matrix and the second with respect to the notice and relying upon the decision of the apex court, the court found that there is nothing to be interfered with. We are informed that the matter was taken up before the apex court in Special Leave Petition which was also dismissed in limine. Thereafter, the review petition is filed with a petition to receive the documents under Order 47 of the Code of Civil R.P.No.720 of 2005 -: 2 :- Procedure. The request can be permitted only when there are errors apparent on the face of the record. Now the writ petition is filed in the year 1996 and it was disposed of only in the year 2005 and during that period also no documents were produced and the matter was disposed of. One cannot hold that the litigation has to be indefinitely postponed for implementing the final decision. We do not find any error apparent on the face of the record; nor any valid reasons for the non-production of the documents at an early stage as well. No sufficient reason is shown to receive the documents under Order 47 of the CPC. Therefore the review petition lacks merits and is dismissed. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- M.N.
