Making a request for constitution of a larger Bench,

 In cases “Multiline Associates v. Ardeshir Cowasijee” (PLD 1995 SC 423) observed as under:-

In such circumstances, legal position which emerges is that the second Division Bench of the High Court should not have given finding contrary to the findings of the 1st Division Bench of the same Court on the same point and should have adopted the correct method by making a request for constitution of a larger Bench, if a contrary view had to be taken. [...] We, therefore, hold that the earlier judgment of equal Bench in the High Court on the same point is binding upon the second Bench and if a contrary view had to be taken, then request for constitution of larger Bench should have been made. [emphasis added]
