Binding precedent controls dismissal of special leave petitions, with delay condoned and liberty preserved if review succeeds.

The special leave petitions were dismissed because the issues raised were already covered by the Supreme Court's decision in Union of India v. Ganpati Dealcom Pvt. Ltd., and the pending review of that precedent did not affect its binding force for the present matter. The Court also condoned the delay in filing and reserved liberty to file a fresh petition if the review against Ganpati Dealcom is allowed, preserving the petitioners' ability to seek reconsideration should the precedent change.

Outcome: The special leave petitions were dismissed as the issue was held to be covered by the earlier decision of the Court, with liberty reserved to approach again if the review petition is allowed.
