Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reiterated that curative petitions are exceptional and may only be entertained if there is a clear violation of natural justice principles, as established in Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra (2002) 4 SCC 388. The Court found that the curative petition did not meet the necessary criteria, particularly lacking a specific certification of grounds for its consideration. Consequently, the curative petition was dismissed in limine, affirming the stringent standards for such petitions.
