It was held that the court having jurisdiction earlier, being a court inferior to a Court of Session ceased to have the jurisdiction to adjudicate matters punishable under \u2018the SEBI Act\u2019, after the amendment under \u2018the 2002 Amendment Act\u2019 came into force.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rejecting the contention that the action of transfer of pending matters from the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate (or, Judicial Magistrate of the first class), to the Court of Session (consequent upon \u2018the 2002 Amendment Act\u2019) and thereafter, to the Special Court (consequent upon \u2018the 2014 Amendment Act\u2019), was liable to be treated as prospective, failing which the accused will be deprived of the important right of revision vested in him, the Court said that when the remedy of revision is considered as not a right of an accused, at all, the absence of the remedy of revision cannot be considered as deprivation of a right.
