About this template
What is this template?
This is a procedural court filing used to ask a judge to reconsider a final decision based on specific procedural errors or new facts. It is not an appeal to a higher court, but a request to the same court that issued the decree. It specifically cites Order 47, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
When should you use it?
Use this document when a judgment has been issued against you in India and you have found evidence that was not available during the trial. Use a Notice of Appeal instead if you are challenging the judge's interpretation of the law in a higher court.
