As per case facts, a Public Interest Litigation was filed by Pakuahat Social Welfare Society concerning the illegal transfer of "Hat" lands previously vested in the State. The earlier order ... disposed of the PIL with directions for enquiry and action against illegal transfers and constructions. This order led to consequential actions by authorities, including memos and proceedings affecting third parties. The review petition was filed as it appeared the original judgment did not consider the right of retention under Section 6 of the W.B.E.A. Act and the transferability of lands held by non-agricultural tenants. The question arose whether the earlier judgment contained an error apparent on the face of the record warranting a review. Finally, the Court held that there was an error apparent on the face of the record, allowed the review, recalled the earlier judgment, restored the writ petition for re-hearing on merits, and set aside all consequential actions taken by the authorities, restoring the status quo.
