Review petition on Article 136 SLP dismissal over statutory pre-deposit defects rejected, no hardship reconsideration granted
SC considered a review petition challenging dismissal of a Special Leave Petition under Article 136 concerning maintainability for non-compliance with a statutory pre-deposit requirement and alleged non-consideration of hardship by the Tribunal and HC. The SC noted that the review petition itself was defective and that, despite intimation, the petitioner had failed to cure the defects. Holding that no ground for review of its earlier order was made out, the SC dismissed the review petition, thereby affirming the refusal to entertain the SLP.
The Supreme Court dealt with a defective Review Petition in which the petitioner had also sought an oral hearing. The Court first rejected the "application for oral hearing." It noted that the Review Petition suffered from defects which had been communicated to counsel for the petitioner, but "the same have not yet been cured." Despite these procedural defects, the Court examined the Review Petition and the connected papers on merits and concluded that "no case for review of order is made out." On that basis, the Court dismissed the Review Petition. The Court further directed that any "pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of," thereby bringing all related proceedings to a close.
