M/S Shree Marwal Sewashram vs. Customs Excise And Service Tax

Held

The High Court held that it did not find any error apparent on the face of the record that called for any interference. Consequently, the review petition was dismissed. The reasoning appears to be a straightforward application of the review jurisdiction principles, where the court found no manifest mistake or obvious error in the previous decision. The operative direction was the dismissal of the review petition. No issues were expressly left undecided.
