My 498A case was dismissed by the High Court in December 2012. My brother’s family didn’t challenge this in the Supreme Court. But, in October 2013, they filed a defamation case. Now, my sister-in-law has asked the same High Court to reconsider their decision. I’m worried because:
1. Can the High Court hear this again?
2. Can I go to the Supreme Court?
3. I received a notice. How can I stop them from causing further stress to my family with this unnecessary application?
Best Answer
The High Court can only reconsider its decision if there are compelling reasons, like a significant error of law or new evidence. You can still approach the Supreme Court, but it’s not guaranteed they’ll hear your case. To prevent further stress, you can file an objection to this application in the High Court, highlighting the previous dismissal and the lack of new evidence.
