Article 132

B.

Article 135

C.

Article 137

D.

Article 138

Correct option is C

Correct Answer:C) Article 137

Explanation:

Article 137 of the Indian Constitution grants the Supreme Court the power to review its own judgments or orders. This means that if an error is found in a judgment, or if new evidence emerges, the court can reconsider its decision.

  • Judicial Review: The Supreme Court can review its judgment to ensure that justice is served, especially in cases where constitutional interpretation or fundamental rights are involved.
  • Grounds for Review: The court may allow a review under:
    • Errors on the face of the record
    • Newly discovered evidence
    • Violation of fundamental rights
  • Filing a Review Petition: A review petition must be filed within 30 days of the judgment, and it is usually heard by the same bench that passed the original judgment.

Information Booster:

  • Article 132: Deals with appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in constitutional cases.
  • Article 135: Empowers the Supreme Court to exercise jurisdiction over matters that were under pre-independence judicial authority.
  • Article 138: Allows the Parliament to expand the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court beyond what is stated in the Constitution.
  • Landmark Case:Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra (2002) established that after a review petition, a curative petition can be filed if there is gross injustice.
