Spite of the rubber-stamp signature

Supreme Court in the case of The Province of East Pakistan Vs. Dr. Azizul Islam (PLD 1963 SC 296), it was observed:-

With respect we must point out that the decision was a direct authority also on this question, as in spite of the rubber-stamp signature the validity of the order of requisition was upheld and if the learned Judges of the High Court deciding the present case were inclined to take a different view, they should have, in accordance with the rules of their own Court, referred the matter to a larger Bench. Alternatively, they could have expressed their doubts regarding the view taken in the precedent case1 in a Court of co-equal jurisdiction, while yet following that view, and left the matter to be raised in appeal before this Court.
