One 3-Judge bench can scrutinise another 3-Judge bench’s ruling: SC

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed objections from the Centre regarding the scrutiny of a previous verdict upholding the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The court cited a similar exercise it conducted in interpreting the land acquisition law as precedent.​A bench of Justices Arun Mishra, Adarsh Kumar Goel and Mohan M Shantanagoudar in 2018 expressed its disagreement with the 2014 ruling and held that it needed to be re-examined and referred the controversy to a five-judge bench for adjudication.
