It is well-settled that if a Bench of coordinate jurisdiction disagrees
with another Bench of coordinate jurisdiction whether on the basis
of "different arguments" or otherwise, on a question of law, it is
appropriate that the matter be referred to a larger Bench for
resolution of the issue rather than to leave two conflicting judgments
to operate, creating confusion. It is not proper to sacrifice certainty
of law. Judicial decorum, no less than legal propriety forms the
basis of judicial procedure and it must be respected at all costs."
