Section 7 - CPC

In the case on hand, though during the course of hearing, a reference was made as to the presence of learned Attorney General by learned senior counsel for the respondents. Court are satisfied that the Union of India was not given an opportunity to represent its case due to mistake on the part of the Registry. Applying the well settled principles governing a review petition and giving our anxious and careful consideration to the facts and circumstances of this case, Court have come to the conclusion that the review petition filed by the Union of India should be admitted on the basis of the above reasoning.
