Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction by reviewing its own order after it had been confirmed by the Supreme Court, which dismissed the Special Leave Petition (SLP) against the Tribunal's decision. The Court emphasized that once an order is confirmed by the Supreme Court, it becomes final and cannot be reviewed by the Tribunal under Order 47, Rule 1 CPC or any other provision. The appeal was allowed, and the review order of the Tribunal was set aside, maintaining judicial discipline.
