Explanation to Order 47 Rule 1 CPC restricts review jurisdiction where a judgment rests on a question of law later reversed or modified by a superior court; change in law or a subsequent coordinate or larger bench decision does not alone permit review. The tribunal's allowance of review and condonation of delay based solely on a liberty granted without determining the Explanation's bar was disapproved.
