KHODAY DISTILLERIES LTD. (NOW KHODAY INDIA LIMITED) vs SRI MAHADESHWARA SAHAKARA SAKKARE KARKHANE LTD.

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed against the Karnataka High Court's order dismissing a review petition related to a prior judgment. The Court held that the dismissal of the special leave petition (SLP) without reasons does not constitute res judicata, but reiterated that review petitions should not be entertained after an SLP has been dismissed. The Court emphasized the need for clarity in the law regarding the maintainability of review petitions post-SLP dismissal, referencing the judgments in Abbai Maligai Partnership Firm v. K. Santhakumaran and Kunhay Ammed v. State of Kerala.
