State Of Punjab vs Dharam Singh on 2 February, 1968
46. On a clear analysis of the above enunciated law, particularly,
the Seven Judge Bench judgment of this Court in Samsher Singh (supra) and three-Judge Bench judgments, which are certainly the larger Benches and are binding on us, the courts have taken the view with reference to the facts and relevant rules involved in those cases that the principle of automatic or deemed confirmation would not be attracted. The pith and substance of the stated principles of law is that it will be the facts and the rules, which will have to be examined by the courts as a condition precedent to the application of the dictum stated in any of the line of the cases afore noticed.
