Snr Adv, for Madhya Pradesh: All I said, whether there is satisfaction of the President, whether mylords answers it or not is different.

Snr Adv Harish Salve: it is not jurisdictional power, self imposed power. Maintainability is used losely. Doctrine of precedent is self imposed. Article 141 does not bind the supreme court overrule. Singhvi, first said, stare decis, it never stood in a way. Decree will continue to bind until set aside. What is happening, these challenges, it puts cart before the horse because mylords have not even engaged with these questions. It has happened that on many issues, the courts have spoken in different voices, mylords can deal and say but this is not maintainability.
