The applications sought corrections in the earlier judgements. Notices were subsequently issued to 19 prominent scholars, who raised concerns about specific paragraphs - 7, 42, and 49 - in the judgements issued on Feb 6 and July 24.
According to the latest order, after reviewing the scholars’ objections and hearing the arguments, the court decided to remove the paragraphs. As a result, the earlier judgements were retracted.
The final order also said the trial court had been directed to proceed with the bail case independently.
