- Farrukh Amin, Advocate Supreme Court instructed by Abdul Karim, Attorney for Petitioner.
- Nemo for Respondents.
- Date of hearing : l0thpOctober 1968.
- The judgment was a fully considered judgment after hearing able arguments advanced by Mr. M. A. Zullah, a Senior Advocate of this Court, but review is now sought on the ground that this Court had misconstrued paragraph 4 of the Schedule to the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1958. Even if, for arguments sake, it is accepted that this Court had erred in the construction of the said paragraph, that cannot furnish a ground for review. A review cannot be granted merely because one party or the other to the litigation is not satisfied with the decision of this Court and considers that the matter should be reheard or re‑argued. A review is nor a substitute for an appeal. Therefore, the mere dissatisfaction of a party to the litigation is no ground for review although it might have been a ground for an appeal if an appeal lay from a decision of this Court.
