One power of the Supreme Court, which is not enjoyed by other Courts, is that only Supreme Court has the right to revise its earlier decisions.
The Supreme Court has the power to review laws passed by the Union or State legislatures. If either the Parliament or a State Legislature passes any law that is against the Constitution, the Supreme Court can declare the law 'ultra vires' or null and void. This power is referred to as the power of judicial review.
