HC imposes fine for getting an order of review from Supreme Court through covert means

The Bombay High Court in  Radhakrishna Co-operative Housing Society Limited vs State of Maharashtra, imposed ₹5 lakh cost on petitioners reminding them about the limitations of a review jurisdiction.

A bench of Justice SC Dharmadhikari and Justice MS Sonak observed that it is being seen lately that litigants try to go behind binding orders of the high court by canvassing arguments before the Supreme Court that do not give the entire or true picture of the case, and all this is done taking advantage of the liberty granted by the Supreme Court to file a review.
