Supreme Court Rules Its Requests to Courts Are Binding Directions
The Supreme Court clarified that its requests to courts or tribunals must be treated as binding directions, not mere suggestions, and non-compliance will be taken seriously. This ruling followed the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal's failure to hear a matter by a specified date despite the Supreme Court's earnest request. The bench emphasized that polite language in such requests reflects respect for judicial offices, not a lack of authority, and demanded an explanation from NCLAT for the delay.
