- Curative petition cannot be entertained only if the petitioner establishes that there was a violation of the principles of natural justice

Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Incorrect A curative petition is the last resort for a plaintiff after an adverse judgement has been delivered and the plea for its review rejected. It is meant to ensure there is no miscarriage of justice, and to prevent abuse of process. The court ruled that a curative petition can be entertained if the petitioner establishes there was a violation of the principles of natural justice, and that he was not heard by the court before passing an order. It will also be admitted where a judge failed to disclose facts that raise the apprehension of bias. A curative petition must be first circulated to a bench of the three senior-most judges, and the judges who passed the concerned judgment, if available. Only when a majority of the judges conclude that the matter needs hearing should it be listed — as far as possible, before the same Bench. A curative petition is usually decided by judges in chamber, unless a specific request for an open-court hearing is allowed. Context – The Supreme Court told the Centre to decide on its curative plea seeking an additional Rs 7,844 crore from the successor firms of Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) for giving compensation to the victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy.
