Question and options

According to Article 124 of the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963, the thirty-day period for review applies to which listed court?

  1. Supreme Court only

  2. High Court only

  3. Both Supreme Court and High Court

  4. Neither Supreme Court nor High Court

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - High Court only

Article 124 prescribes thirty days from the date of the decree or order for an application for review of judgment "by a court other than the Supreme Court", so it covers a High Court but not the Supreme Court. A review petition in the Supreme Court is governed instead by Order XLVII rule 2 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013, which also allows thirty days; that equal period comes from the Rules, not from Article 124, so neither the Supreme Court alone nor both courts is correct.
