Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court lacks the power to review its own order once it has been merged with the Supreme Court's order, as established in State of Maharashtra v. Prabhakar Bhimaji Ingle [(1996) 3 SCC 463]. The Court emphasized that the dismissal of a Special Leave Petition (S.L.P.) does not leave room for review by the High Court, reinforcing the principle of judicial discipline. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that it could not review its earlier order post-S.L.P. dismissal.
