Case of two benches to come up after vacations

471
Supreme Court

The curious land acquisition matter on section 24(2), on which one bench overturned another similar strength bench’s judgment, holding it per incuriam (ignores a contradictory statute or binding authority, and is therefore wrongly decided and of no force), was mentioned before a Supreme Court vacation bench on Monday (June 11).

The vase had been then referred to 9-judge bench for judgment and the matter is under review.

During mentioning a stay on review was prayed for. The bench said: “We cannot entertain review. You had sufficient time. List this matter in first week of July after vacations.”
