The Federal Constitutional Court has established a definitive legal stance, ruling that litigants are barred from submitting a second review petition once a final decision on an initial review has been reached. Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, presiding over an appeal from the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited, clarified that motions labeled as "restoration" or "recall" are inadmissible if they essentially seek to challenge the merits or logic of a prior judgment. While the court acknowledged that a recall might be permissible if a distinct procedural error is identified, it emphasized that such mechanisms cannot be exploited to bypass the prohibition against repeated reviews. Consequently, the court supported the Registrar's earlier objection and dismissed the appeal, reinforcing procedural finality in judicial proceedings.
