the sale deed that he is the owner of the property by virtue of the decrees granted by the Courts in this litigation against which this appeal is pending in this Court. Without writing this in the sale deed, he would not be allowed to sell the property. In case there is violation it will be open to the other side to move this Court for appropriate orders.
It was argued by Shri M.L.Sarin that this Court has no jurisdiction to pass the aforesaid order at the instance of the defendants and such an order could have been passed only if the plaintiff was asking for such a relief. I do no find any merit whatsoever in this argument. This Court has jurisdiction to pass appropriate interim orders according to the facts of the case. Here the plaintiff, who is respondent in this appeal, is wanting to sell the property as owner on the basis of the declaration granted to him by the two Courts below. To avoid any multiplicity of proceedings and to safeguard the interest of the defendant# appellants, the aforesaid order has been deemed necessary which in no way affects the rights of the plaintiff if ultimately he is to succeed in the appeal, but if he is to fail, then the rights of the defendant#appellants would certainly be affected by the sale. This application stands disposed of accordingly. February 6, 1986."

Under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC a judgment may be open to review inter alia if there is a mistake or an error apparent on the face of the record. An error which is not self evident and has to be detected by a process of reasoning, can hardly be said to be an error apparent on the face of the record justifying the court to exercise its power review under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC. In exercise of the jurisdiction under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC it is not permissible for an erroneous decision to be "reheard and corrected". A review petition, it must be remembered has limited purpose and cannot be allowed to be "an appeal in disguise." 10.
Considered in the light of this settled position we find that Sharma, J. clearly over#stepped the jurisdiction vested in the court under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC. The observation of Sharma, J. that "accordingly", the order in question is reviewed and it is held that the decree in question is reviewed and it is held that the decree in question was of composite nature wherein both mandatory and prohibitory injunction were provided" and as such the case was covered by Article the scope of Order 47 Rule 1 CPC. There is a clear distinction between an erroneous decision and an error apparent on the face of the record. While the first can be corrected by the higher forum, the later only can be corrected by exercise of the review jurisdiction. While passing the impugned order, Sharma, J. found the order in Civil Revision dated 25.4.
1989 as an erroneous decision, though without saying so in so many words. Indeed, while passing the impugned order Sharma, J. did record that there was a mistake or an error apparent on the face of the record which not of such a nature, "Which had to be detected by a long drawn process of reasons" and proceeded to set at naught the order of Gupta, J.
cannot detract from the real import of the order passed in exercise of the review jurisdiction. Recourse to review petition in the facts and circumstances of the case was not permissible. The aggrieved judgment debtors could have approached the higher forum through appropriate proceedings, to assail the order of Gupta, J. and get it set aside but it was not open to them to seek a "review of the order of petition. In this view of the matter, we are of the opinion that the impugned order of Sharma, J. cannot be sustained and accordingly accept this appeal and set aside the impugned order dated 6.3.1997."

Production of additional evidence in Appellate Court-
(1) The parties to an appeal shall not be entitled to produce additional evidence, whether oral or documentary, in the Appellate Court. But if- (a) the Court from whose decree the appeal is preferred has refused to admit evidence which ought to have been admitted, or [(aa) the party seeking to produce additional evidence, establishes that notwithstanding the exercise of due diligence, such evidence was not within his knowledge or could not, after the exercise of due diligence, be produced by him at the time when the decree appealed against was passed, or] (b) the Appellate Court requires any document to be produced or any witness to be examined to enable it to pronounce judgment, or for any other substantial cause, the Appellate Court may allow such evidence or document to be produced, or witness to be examined.
