<h1>Supreme Court can overrule precedents but limit new rules to future cases only under Article 142</h1> The doctrine of prospective overruling allows constitutional courts to overrule established precedents while limiting the new rule's application to future cases only. In India, this power derives from Article 142 and applies exclusively to constitutional matters, with only the Supreme Court having authority to invoke it due to its jurisdiction over all Indian courts. The doctrine's retroactive scope remains at the Court's discretion based on justice considerations. Originally developed in US jurisprudence, it prevents injustice by treating existing statutes or decisions as 'operative facts' with consequences that cannot be ignored when new judicial declarations emerge.
