(i) It is a discretionary power and hence, cannot be claimed as a matter of right.
(ii) It can be granted in any judgement whether final or interlocutory.
(iii) It may be related to any matterÑconstitutional, civil, criminal, income-tax, labour, revenue, advocates,etc.
(iv) It can be granted against any court or tribunal and not necessarily against a high court (of course,except a military court).
