Can same SDM reinitiate the case once given final decision


12-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)
Our case was in court from years. SDM then decided and passed the judgement. Now after 10 days again we have received summon from the same SDM and same court stating that the next hearing date is this and case is under thinking. How it’s possible once judgement is given now same SDM is saying she has to think. Don’t know if opposing party has initiated something or how. My concern is that this case is not been to higher level court or another SDM so how this SDM himself is changing her judgement without any reason.

As per law, the same court cannot cannot review a judgement given by it in a criminal matter, however, in other matters, the same court has the power to review it's judgement. The proceedings can initiated duo motu or on application filed by the party. In the present case the judgement debtor might have filed for review before the same court and so you may have received the summons.
