Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that when a party is permitted to withdraw a special leave petition with liberty to approach the High Court, the subsequent application to the High Court must be treated as a review petition. The Court clarified that the High Court should not dismiss such a review petition on the grounds of delay if filed within two weeks. The appeal was disposed of with directions to allow the filing of a proper review petition.
