Question

What is meant by the Revisory Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court?

Answer 1

Article 137 of the Constitution empowers the Supreme Court to review its own order or judgment with the intention to remove any error that might have unwittingly crept into it. This implies that the orders and judgments of the Supreme Court are binding on the entire judiciary system except for the Supreme Court itself. The Supreme Court holds the power to revise it. This is the Revisory Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
