Rejecting the petition, a bench noted &quot;the scheme is formulated by this court after considering the relevant provisions of the Bombay Public Trust Act and the need for modification of Section 41AA in the larger interest of society.u00a0 &lsquo;&rsquo;We are of the considered opinion that the scheme formulated by this Court does not call for any interference.&lsquo;&rsquo; &lsquo;&rsquo;So far as review is concerned, the legal position is that a review of an earlier order is not permissible unless the court is satisfied that material error manifest on the face of order undermines its soundness or results in miscarriage of justice,&quot; observed the bench of Justices Sadhna Jadhav and V K Tahilramani. &quot;A review of a judgement is an extreme step and cannot be resorted to unless there is a glaring omission or addition which would thwart the established principles of law.&quot; The review plea was filed by the Pune-based Shri Seva Medical Foundation, a charitable trust registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act (BPT Act), which runs a hospital. The Bench said the court, which responded to a PIL, had considered public interest while formulating the scheme for making grant-in-aid meaningful for weaker sections of the community. The scheme was formulated on the principle that PIL was an arm of the legal movement intended to bring justice within the reach of the poor masses. The petitioners are, in fact, seeking relief of exemption from the scheme under the garb of review petition, which cannot be entertained in the larger interest of the society, the Judges ruled. &quot;Hence, the review petition is dismissed with no order as to costs.&quot; u00a0

The Bombay High Court dismissed petition of a medical foundation seeking review of its earlier order approving a 2006 scheme that required public trusts getting government aid or land to provide free hospital beds for the poor and underprivileged.
