O R D E R

[Made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.,] The present review petition filed seeking to review the order of this Court dated 01.12.2022 passed in W.A.No.760 of 2022 is based on the grounds raised on merits.

2. The review petitioner had filed the writ petition seeking reevaluation of answer sheets in respect of the written examination for recruitment to the Group I Services, as notified by the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission on 01.01.2019. The writ Court dismissed the petition and the writ appeal also came to be dismissed.

3. Mr.S.Thanka Sivan, learned counsel for the petitioner, would submit that the marks entered are patently erroneous and that needs to be reviewed. While deciding the writ appeal, the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court had considered these aspects and decided the matter on merits. Page Nos.2/4

Re-appreciation of facts in a review petition is impermissible and the scope of the review cannot be expanded beyond an error apparent, if any, is established. In the present case, an attempt has been made to readjudicate the issues and thus, this Court is not inclined to entertain the present writ petition.

4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
