Answer
Exam answer
(b) Revisory.
Explanation
Revisory Jurisdiction is the power of the Supreme Court to review its OWN judgement or order and to correct an error in it. Note the two traps. Judicial Review concerns the constitutionality of LAWS passed by the legislature, not the correction of the Court’s own errors. Appellate Jurisdiction concerns appeals from LOWER COURTS. The words "any judgement made BY IT" are what point to revision.
In words
Revisory.
