Usually, a review petition is entertained on very limited grounds, such as error on the face of the records. Usually, review petition would not be entertained or heard on merits. However, you can challenge the decision in the higher court (in this case, in the Supreme Court).
When you challenge the promotion granted to someone else (by getting it declared as void), usually it is expected that you would make him a party. Such other party has an equal right to be heard when an adverse action (such as, of declaring his promotion as void) is to be taken against him. Therefore, it is generally expected that you would make such other person a party in the petition filed by you.
If the review petition was rejected by the high court, you have the option of challenging it in Supreme Court.
