Explanation:

The powers of the Supreme Court to review its own judgements are elaborated in the article 137 of the Constitution of India. A High Court cannot
review or alter its own decision in criminal cases. Supreme Court can review its decision in accordance to the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. Criminal review petition can be moved only on the ground of an error apparent on the face of the record without the need to resort to any other
supporting evidence.
