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.

[Emphasis added] 3.2 In the case of Gopal Singh Vs. State Cadre Forest Officers Assn. and Others [2007 (9) SCC 369], the Apex Court held that after rejecting the original application filed by the appellant, there was no justification for the Tribunal to review its order and allow the revision of the appellant.
