The rote learning method, which doesn't encourage critical thinking, is another common grievance.

The Supreme Court in India has the power to change its own rulings, a concept known as judicial review.

In essence, the Supreme Court's ability to change its own rulings is a dynamic feature of India's legal system, ensuring its relevance and responsiveness to the evolving society.
