T. Suthendraraja And Another vs State Of Tamil Nadu And Others on 9 August, 1994
"As noted by a Constitution Bench of this Court in P.N.Eswara Iyer
V.Registrar, Supreme Court of India, Suthendraraja V. State, Ramdeo
Chauhan V. State of Assam and Devender Pal Singh V. State NCT of Delhi
notwithstanding the wider set of grounds for review in civil proceedings, it is
limited to 'errors apparent on the face of the record' in criminal proceedings.
Such applications are not to be filed for the pleasure of the parties or even as a
device for ventilating remorselessness, but ought to be restored to with a great
sense of responsibility as well."
