Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reiterated that curative petitions are exceptional and may only be entertained if there is a violation of natural justice principles, as established in Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra 2002 (4) SCC 388. The Court held that the curative petition in this case did not meet the necessary criteria, as the accompanying certificate failed to specify grounds for its consideration. Consequently, the curative petition was dismissed in limine.
