SangsLegal News Registries should not perform judicial functions and cannot reject a curative petition on the grounds that a review was dismissed in open court: Supreme Court


The Supreme Court has ruled that registries should not perform judicial functions and cannot reject a curative petition on the grounds that a review was dismissed in open court.

The Supreme Court has set aside a Registrar's order that denied the registration of a curative petition because the review petition was dismissed after being heard in open court (not by circulation). The Court deemed the order to be in violation of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013 and stated that the decision-making power, being judicial in nature, should have been exercised by a Bench of the Court.
