A Curative Petition is an extraordinary constitutional remedy
evolved by the Supreme Court of India to prevent miscarriage of justice.
It is the final judicial recourse available after the dismissal of
a Review Petition, and is entertained only in the rarest of rare cases.
Violation of Natural Justice
Where the petitioner was not afforded a fair hearing
or was not impleaded despite being a necessary party.
Bias of the Bench
When there is a reasonable apprehension of bias
affecting the judicial decision-making process.
Gross Miscarriage of Justice
Exceptional circumstances where the judgment
results in grave and irreversible injustice.
Violation of Constitutional Principles
Errors striking at the root of constitutional
interpretation or fundamental rights.
Procedure & Safeguards
1. Certification by Senior Advocate
The petition must be accompanied by a certification
from a Senior Advocate affirming the existence of valid grounds.
2. Circulation in Chambers
The petition is circulated to the judges who delivered
the impugned judgment and senior-most judges.
3. No Open Court Hearing
Ordinarily decided in chambers without oral arguments,
unless the Court deems it necessary.
4. Costs & Deterrence
Exemplary costs may be imposed to discourage
frivolous or abuse of process.
