Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that interlocutory applications that are essentially review applications should not be heard in open court but instead treated as review applications to be circulated in chambers. The Court permitted the petitioner to convert the interlocutory application into a review application and file a revised memorandum indicating precise points within one week. This decision emphasizes the procedural distinction between interlocutory and review applications.
