3. Summary:
The Supreme Court dismissed a writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, which sought to declare two earlier judgments of coordinate benches (*Pro Knits* and *Shri Shri Swami Samarth*) as *per incuriam* or *sub silentio*. The Court held that judicial orders do not violate fundamental rights and must be challenged through prescribed legal procedures, relying on *Naresh Shridhar Mirajkar*. The petition was deemed frivolous and vexatious. The Court also barred the Registry from registering similar petitions without prior approval from the Chief Justice of India.

4. Conclusion:
Petition Dismissed
Judgment :-

1. This is an absolutely frivolous and thoroughly vexatious writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India.

2. Petitioners primarily seek orders to declare the decisions of coordinate benches of this Court in Pro Knits v. Board of Directors of Canara Bank[(2024) 10 SCC 292] and Shri Shri Swami Samarth Construction & Finance Solution v. NKGSB Coop. Bank Ltd.[ (2025) SCC OnLine SC 1566] to have been passed per incuriam / sub silentio.

3. Naresh Shridhar Mirajkar v. State of Maharashtra[AIR 1967 SC 1] is an authority for the proposition that judicial orders passed by the competent Courts / Tribunals do not affect fundamental right of any citizen; if a party is aggrieved by a judicial order, such order has to be challenged according to the procedure prescribed by law.

4. In such view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed.

5. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.

6. We make it clear that the Registry shall not register any further writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India seeking similar relief of declaring Pro Knits (supra) and Shri Shri Swami Samarth (supra) to have been passed per incuriam / sub silentio, without obtaining orders from the Hon'ble the Chief Justice of India.
