JOSEPH, JJ. -------------------------------------- R.P.No.224 of 2003 in W.A.No.440 of 1999 ------------------------------------- Dated 3rd December, 2008 ORDER Koshy,J . The judgment under review was passed following the ratio of the decision of the Full Bench in Varghese v. State of Kerala (1981 KLT 458). It is submitted that another Division Bench took a different view in W.A.No.1960/2000. In that decision also the above Full Bench decision was followed. In any event, subsequent decision of a court is not a ground for review. All points urged in the appeal were considered in the judgment under review. Even if there is an erroneous decision, that is not a ground to review. A review petition cannot be equated to an appeal or a petition for rehearing the matter. The review petition is dismissed.
