Which Article of the Indian Constitution empowers the Supreme Court to review its own judgements or orders?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Article 137.

Article 137 of the Indian Constitution empowers the Supreme Court to review its own judgments and orders. This provision allows the Court to correct errors or reconsider decisions if new facts emerge or there are clear mistakes.

The review process is intended to ensure justice and accuracy, rather than to re-argue cases. While it doesn’t function as an appeal, it helps maintain judicial integrity by allowing adjustments to prior rulings when necessary.
