Question

The Supreme Court of India can review its judgments or orders under which Article of the Constitution of India?

• A. Article 137
• B. Article 140
• C. Article 45
• D. Article 79

Hint:

Supreme Court Review Power = Article 137. Curative petitions come after review.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the power described.
The question is about the Supreme Court going back and correcting its own earlier judgment or order.
Step 2: Eliminate the unrelated articles.
Article 140 deals with ancillary powers conferred on the Supreme Court, Article 45 is a Directive Principle about early childhood care, and Article 79 defines the composition of Parliament, none of these are about reviewing judgments.
Step 3: Confirm the right article.
Article 137 specifically gives the Supreme Court the power to review any judgment or order it has passed, subject to law made by Parliament and rules of the Court.
