What did the High Court hold?

The High Court held that the review petition was not maintainable. They reasoned that the liberty granted to revive the appeal in the event of success before the Apex Court was the appropriate recourse, not a review.

The Revenue filed a review petition seeking to review a previous High Court order. This was based on a subsequent Supreme Court judgment on the same issue. The High Court had previously granted liberty to the Revenue to revive the appeal if they succeeded before the Apex Court.

What were the issues?

Whether a review petition is maintainable when liberty was granted to revive an appeal based on a subsequent Supreme Court decision.
