Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that an application for clarification that essentially seeks a review of a prior judgment is impermissible under Article 137 of the Constitution and Order XL of the Supreme Court Rules, 1966. The Court emphasized that such applications cannot bypass the established procedure for review and must not be allowed to alter judgments merely because a party is dissatisfied with the outcome. The application was rejected as it constituted an abuse of process and did not present any prima facie merit.
