Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the application for clarification filed by a new advocate after a review petition was previously dismissed, emphasizing that such practices undermine the integrity of the legal profession. The Court reiterated that a review petition should not be an attempt to reargue the case on merits and highlighted the necessity of obtaining a 'No Objection Certificate' from the advocate-on-record before filing. The application was dismissed with exemplary costs of Rs. 20,000, to be paid to the Supreme Court Legal Aid Services Committee, reinforcing the need for adherence to proper legal practices.
