SC quashes plea seeking review of Jan 3 verdict

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the review of its January 3 judgment when it refused to transfer the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi's) investigation into allegations against the Adani group by Hindenburg Research either to a special investigation team (SIT) or the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

"Having perused the review petition, there is no error apparent on the face of the record. No case for review under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Supreme Court Rules 2013. The review petition is, therefore, dismissed," the Bench of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, Justice J B Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Misra said. The review petition was filed by one Anamika Jaiswal, who was also one of the petitioners in the main case.

It claimed that there were "mistakes and errors" in the judgment and that new material received by the petitioner's advocate, Prashant Bhushan, provided sufficient reasons for a review of the verdict.
