ORAL ORDER
(PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE)
1. The revision petitioner has filed the present petition seeking review of the judgment dated 31.10.2025 passed by this Court in WP.No.596/2025. The learned counsel appearing for the review petitioner submits that certain relevant facts were not noted. He contends that the land surrounding the subject land owned by the review petitioner, has been acquired and therefore, the review petitioner ought to be granted the compensation as determined.
HC-KAR
2. We find no grounds to review the judgment dated 31.10.2025.
3. This Court had found that the subject land in question was not acquired and there was no compulsion for the review petitioner to surrender the land. Additionally, the process of surrender of the subject land was not complete and therefore no directions could be issued for releasing any compensation. The review petitioner seeks to re-agitate the petition, which is beyond the scope of review.
4. The present review petition is accordingly dismissed.
