#Hierarchy of Courts

The Rajasthan High Court has held that any judicial order founded on a precedent subsequently overruled by the Supreme Court is legally void from inception. This ruling reinforces the hierarchy of precedent and mandates proactive correction of judgments tainted by invalid legal foundations, affecting all litigants relying on erroneous judicial reasoning.

Karnataka High Court reinforces judicial hierarchy by mandating Sessions Courts to follow High Court directives under BNSS Sections 497 and 503 for interim custody of seized property, setting aside an order denying release of silver articles and cash worth Rs. 17.4+ lakhs. The ruling underscores that lower courts cannot disregard binding superior court directions, ensuring procedural fairness in criminal proceedings.
