https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283111 Section 561A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 preserves the High Court's inherent power to secure justice and prevent abuse of process, but it cannot be used to reopen a criminal matter already finally and lawfully decided by the same High Court in appellate or revisional jurisdiction. The proper remedy against an allegedly erroneous revisional order was an appeal to the Supreme Court, not a fresh rehearing under inherent powers. A later order in connected proceedings involving co-accused did not justify reopening the petitioner's own case, and Section 369 also barred alteration or review of a signed judgment save for clerical correction. The application was therefore not maintainable and was dismissed. en-us Mon, 17 Mar 1958 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 07 Sep 2019 12:20:54 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283111 Section 561A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 preserves the High Court's inherent power to secure justice and prevent abuse of process, but it cannot be used to reopen a criminal matter already finally and lawfully decided by the same High Court in appellate or revisional jurisdiction.
