https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=263358 Rule 5 of the Gujarat High Court Rules, 1993 permits a larger-bench reference only by a single judge or division bench in a pending matter, or on a question arising therein. Rule 6 allows the Chief Justice to assign pending matters to a division bench or special bench for roster purposes, but does not create an independent administrative power to make a suo motu reference. The reference power is procedural and must be exercised only in the manner the rule itself provides. Accordingly, an administrative suo motu reference by the Chief Justice is not maintainable; a larger-bench reference must originate from a judicial order in a pending matter. en-us Fri, 13 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 07:33:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=263358 Rule 5 of the Gujarat High Court Rules, 1993 permits a larger-bench reference only by a single judge or division bench in a pending matter, or on a question arising therein.
