Which of these is a ground for review under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 114 and Order XLVII Rule 1 provide for review. The grounds include a mistake or error apparent on the face of the record, discovery of new and important matter or evidence unavailable despite due diligence, and any other sufficient reason. Review is limited and does not provide a general rehearing on the merits.

Option feedback

Option A

An alleged error on the merits alone is insufficient to reopen the decision in review.

Option B

An error apparent on the face of the record is an express review ground.

Option C

The importance of the case alone does not establish a review ground.

Option D

Review does not provide a general opportunity to reargue the merits.
