These Review Applications have been filed seeking to review the common order dated 30.03.2026 passed by this Court in W.P.Nos.14854 of 2022, 12670 of 2014 and 11858 of 2014 respectively.
2. Learned counsel for the review petitioners submitted that the petitioners have filed Writ Petitions in W.P.Nos.11858 of 2014, 12670 of 2014 and 14854 of 2022, challenging the circulars prescribing eligibility criteria for
Rev.Aplw.Nos.130 to 132 of 2026
admission into the pre-sea maritime courses, towards enhancement of the education qualification for entering into the maritime courses which is mandatory for completing the pre-sea courses training, and this Court, vide common order, dated 30.03.2026, dismissed the said Writ petitions. Hence, the petitioners have come up with these Review applications.
3. Review applications can be entertained only on the ground of error apparent on the face of records or clerical error. In the present case, learned counsel for the petitioners raised issue on the factual aspect which cannot be entertained by way of the present Review applications and a new ground which has not been canvassed cannot be the basis for filing the review application. Hence, this Court is of the view that, the prayer sought by the petitioners cannot be acceded to and is liable to be dismissed.
4. Accordingly, these review applications are dismissed. No costs. 09-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No sp
