In Brief
The State of Kerala filed curative petitions seeking review of a prior Supreme Court decision. Curative petitions are extraordinary remedies available under Article 137 of the Constitution only in rare circumstances. The Court examined whether the petitions met the established legal criteria set out in the landmark case Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra. Finding that no valid grounds existed under those parameters, the Court dismissed both curative petitions.
