Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India dealt with a curative petition filed by M/s. ICE TV Private Limited against M/s. SREEDEVI DIGITAL SYSTEMS PRIVATE LIMITED and others. The petition was a follow-up to a previous civil appeal, specifically Civil Appeal No. 1637 of 2020, and was filed under the inherent jurisdiction of the court. The petitioner sought an oral hearing, which was rejected by the court. Upon reviewing the curative petition and the relevant documents, the court concluded that no case was made out within the parameters established in the precedent case of Rupa Ashok Hurra vs. Ashok Hurra & Another. Consequently, the court dismissed the curative petition, affirming that it did not satisfy the necessary legal criteria for consideration. The judgment was delivered by a bench comprising Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justices Dr. Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud, Sanjay Kishan Kaul, and Indira Banerjee on August 30, 2022.
