"Supreme Court Grants Leave and Dismisses Appeals, Allows Appellant to File Review Petition".

In the mentioned case, the Supreme Court has reviewed the impugned judgment and finds that the question at hand has been adequately considered with meaningful reasoning. Consequently, all the appeals are dismissed. However, in a specific civil appeal and special leave petition, the appellant argues that there is an apparent error in the judgment as their facts are similar to those in other cases, but the High Court has treated their case differently. The court acknowledges this statement and allows the appellant to file a review petition before the High Court. If the review petition is filed within four weeks from the given date, it will be disposed of on its merits. The judgment is delivered by Justices Rohinton Fali Nariman and Navin Sinha on December 13, 2017, in New Delhi.

Leave granted.

Having gone through the impugned judgment in the aforesaid appeals, we are of the view that the consideration of the question has been given a full and meaningful reasoning and we agree with the same. As a result, all the aforesaid appeals are dismissed.

However, in Civil Appeal No. 998 of 2013 and SLP(C) No. 28678-28682 of 2017, learned counsel appearing for the appellant state that there is an error apparent in the judgment as the facts are similar to the facts of all other cases whereas the High Court has segregated his case and stated that his facts are different. We record the statement and permit the appellant to file a review petition before the High Court. However, if such a review petition is filed within a period of four weeks from today, the same shall be disposed of on merits.
