Heard the Review Petition in detail.

2. After going through the pleadings and proceedings and also the verdict passed by this Court, it is seen that there is absolutely no error apparent on the face of the record. The remedy of the petitioner, if any, is by way of appeal, if aggrieved. It has been made clear by the Apex Court on many an occasion, that the scope/power of review is not to be misconstrued or misunderstood as a substitute for appeal. This Court finds support from the decision reported in Smt. Meera Bhanja V. Smt. Nirmala Kumari Choudhury) AIR 1995 SC 455. The review petition is dismissed accordingly. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE sp
