Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition challenging the procedural requirements for filing a Curative Petition as outlined in Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra & Anr. (2002 (4) SCC 388), specifically the necessity of obtaining a certificate from a Senior Advocate. The Court held that the requirements do not violate the petitioner's fundamental rights under Article 21 of the Constitution. The petitioner's grievances were found to lack merit, and the previous order regarding the Curative Petition was upheld.
