Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court, while reviewing its earlier judgment under Article 136 of the Constitution, held that it has discretionary powers and is not obligated to decide on the jurisdiction of an inferior tribunal if there is no failure of justice. The Court noted that the appeal was from a High Court decision regarding a writ petition against the Payment of Wages Authority, and although there were concerns about jurisdiction, the Court chose not to interfere. The review application was based on claims of errors apparent on the record and the need for a larger bench to address the jurisdictional issues raised.
