Review proceedings lose their basis after dismissal of the challenge to the underlying judgment, leaving no scope for further adjudication.

Dismissal of a Special Leave Petition against the underlying judgment was treated as removing any surviving basis for review of the same order. The prior judgment therefore attained finality for purposes of the review proceedings, and the review petition was not entertained. The connected interlocutory application was also disposed of. The stated principle is that once the challenge to the underlying judgment has been rejected by the higher court, the related review proceeding may cease to have any further adjudicatory basis.
