points already raised and considered before the Court, cannot be re-agitated in review jurisdiction which is confined to the extent of patent error or a mistake floating on the surface of record which, if not corrected may perpetuate illegality and cause injustice

Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD NAWAZ ABBASI, J.

This petition under Article 188 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan read with Order XXVI, Rule 1 of the Supreme Court Rules; 1980 has been filed seeking review of the judgment, dated 10,-4-2007 of this Court, whereby the Civil Appeal bearing No.93 of 2003, arising out of a pre-emption matter, filed by the petitioner was dismissed.

2. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record with their assistance. The contentions raised by the learned counsel in support of this petition have already been exhaustively dealt with in the judgment under review. This is a settled proposition of law that the points already raised and considered before the Court, cannot be re-agitated in review jurisdiction which is confined to the extent of patent error or a mistake floating on the face of record which, if not corrected may perpetuate illegality and cause injustice. The mere fact that another view of the matter was possible or the conclusion drawn in the judgment was wrong, would not be a valid ground to review the judgment unless it is shown that the Court has failed to consider an important question of law. In view thereof, we are not inclined to take any exception to the judgment passed by this Court and consequently, the review petition stands dismissed. M.B.A./F-5/SC Petition dismissed.
