Recall of Supreme Court order

[Anonymous]

If the Supreme Court has passed a wrong order, can the petitioner file an application to the Supreme Court for recall of its wrong order? Under what rule it is permissible?

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

There is no provision for recall of an order of the Supreme Court.

But, if you feel that an order of the Supreme Court in your case is wrong, then you may file a review petition on the grounds on which such petition is permissible. If the review petition is not successful, then you may also file a curative petition under certain conditions.

However, please note that the success rate in a review petition and a curative petition is very limited. See: Success Rate of Review Petition and Curative Petition in Supreme Court.
