Quick Take

A single Judge of Appeal has no power to set aside orders made by a two-judge bench of the Court of Appeal, and the Court of Appeal has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a two-judge bench. The designation 'referral judge' is merely an administrative description with no separate statutory significance.
