5] Shri Sumit Samvatsar, counsel appearing for the respondent, on the other hand, has opposed the prayer and it is submitted that no case for interference is made out as this Court has already considered all aspects of the matter and there is no error apparent, which may call for the review of the order. 6] Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. 7] From the record, it is found that this Court has passed the order reflecting upon all the legal and factual aspects of the matter and came to the conclusion that despite service of summons, the plaintiff did not file the relevant documents, which was filed along with the plaint and the record also did not reflects that if the plaintiff has already furnished all the documents filed along with plaint to the defendant and in such circumstances, this Court finds that there is no error apparent on the face of the record, which may require reconsideration of the issue already decided, nor this Court finds that the order Signature Not Verified Signed by: PANKAJ PANDEY Signing time: 17-02-2023 19:21:38 under review suffers from any serious illegality which may call for correction in exercise of jurisdictional error. In view of the same, no case for review is made 3 out. Pankaj 8] Accordingly, the petition being devoid of merits, is hereby dismissed.
