On that basis, the High Court has no inherent power to review criminal matters, and Article 226 does not confer such a review power. A petitioner cannot bypass an earlier refusal under Section 491 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, by filing a review application or a fresh habeas corpus petition before another Judge, because that would amount to an impermissible review by the High Court of its own decision. The successive application was incompetent and could not be entertained. en-us Tue, 03 Oct 1950 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 11:30:54 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195660 Article 226 jurisdiction vests in the High Court as a court, not in individual Judges acting independently; an order passed by a Division Bench under that provision is therefore an order of the High Court itself.
