Can the Supreme Court modify a High Court judgment at the SLP stage?

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Usually, when a case is decided at the SLP stage, the Supreme Court would formally grant leave in the same order by mentioning “Leave granted” (or something similar) and then deciding the case in the same order.

As I have mentioned in Success Rate of Review Petition and Curative Petition in Supreme Court, the chances of success in a curative petition are extremely low.

You can know more about curative petition in Supreme Court AOR Examination – Leading Cases – Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra, (2002) 4 SCC 388.

It is difficult to give advice on facts of an individual case without seeing the detailed papers of the case (please see our Forum Guidelines). Please consult your lawyer on the facts of your case.
