Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the procedural question of whether a review petition under Article 226 of the Constitution requires referral to a third judge when two judges differ on questions of fact or law. The Court held that in such cases, the review petition should be dismissed under Order XLVII Rule 6 of the CPC, leaving the original order intact. This ruling clarifies the procedural framework for handling dissenting opinions in review petitions, emphasizing the importance of maintaining judicial efficiency and clarity in the review process.
