In the above case, the Supreme Court dismissed the Review Petition with exemplary costs - the present case is not different and would completely fall in the nature of the proceedings which have been deprecated by the Supreme Court in the above judgement. The Review Petition is accordingly dismissed with costs of Rs. 50,000/- to be deposited by the Petitioner, within a period of four weeks from today, with the Maharashtra Legal Services Authority. In the event, if such costs are not deposited, the Maharashtra Legal Services Authority shall take further steps to re .....

As the sales tax dues were paid, such revenue entry came to be deleted. In such context, the Court had made the following observations:- 7:-Being confronted with such situation for such confirmation, when the petitioner resorted to a search of the revenue records and upon examining the 7/12 extract of the property, it was revealed to the petitioner that there was mutation entry no. 751 in the Other Rights Column, which mentioned that there was a charge of the Deputy Commissioner of State Tax E-002 GST Office, Palghar of one Vaishnav Alloys Pvt.

Mr. Kode, however, has fairly stated that the Sales Certificate has not been set aside or stayed in any proceedings. He would also submit that his client has already moved DRT in appropriate proceedings to challenge the Sales Certificate, as according to him, it is the case of his client that the property has been sold at as disproportionally lower price as compared to the market value of the property. 4.

What is pointed out to us is ground (b), where the only averment made is that the Original Petitioner (Respondent No. 6) has not been issued the sales certificate with regard to the sales tax dues. 6. We are quiet surprised to read the other grounds raised in the Petition, which are grounds (a) to (l). It appears that the grounds raised are not only untenable to seek review of the judgement but show disregard to the sanctity attached to the orders passed by the High Court. The said grounds are reckless to say the least. Some of the grounds cannot even be grounds in an appeal, much less grounds for a review.

It is salutary to not that court spends valuable time in deciding a case. Review petition is not, and should not be, an attempt for hearing the matter again on merits. Unfortunately, it has become, in recent time, a practice to file such review petitions as a routine; that too, with change of counsel, without obtaining consent of the advocate on record at earlier stage. This is not conducive to healthy practice of the Bar which has the responsibility to maintain the salutary practice of profession.
