In Brief
The State of Kerala filed curative petitions following the dismissal of its criminal appeals. A constitutional bench examined the petitions against the criteria established by Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra for curative remedies. Finding that the petitions failed to meet the requisite stringent parameters, the Court dismissed them, reaffirming that curative petitions are an extraordinary remedy available only in exceptional circumstances meeting settled legal standards.
