SG : Can this bench sit in appeal over another coordinate bench? Can a person tomorrow bring a petition that he does not agree with the 5-judge bench judgment in the same-sex marriage case and can it be referred?
Solicitor General : The judgment was rendered after a lot of deliberations. I am on the abuse of process of law. The averment is petitioner is an enlightened citizen and he feels that Sec 50 is wrongly interpreted. Is that a ground to reconsider a coordinate bench judgment? The review is yet to be heard.
Justice Kaul : We are not here to consider whether bail is to be granted...we are on a limited contour.
Solicitor General : What your lordships are considering is whether the judgment is to be reconsidered?
Justice Kaul : On any point. Not a general reconsideration.
Bench assembles.
Justice SK Kaul : We are on a limited remit. A three-judge bench has said there are certain aspects to be considered.
