Patil, J. dismissed a writ petition filed against the order of the Magistrate recalling his earlier order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brief facts of the case are that the Magistrate concerned, on an earlier occasion, had ordered investigation under Section 156 CrPC in a criminal case. Subsequently, the same Magistrate, vide the order impugned, recalled his earlier order. The petitioner submitted that the subsequent order was passed without jurisdiction as CrPC does not empower a Magistrate to recall his earlier orders. Reliance was placed upon Supreme Court decisions in <strong><em>Subramanium Sethuraman <\/em>v. <em>State of Maharashtra<\/em><\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/qYczBdaa\">(2004) 13 SCC 324<\/a> and <strong><em>Iris Computers Ltd. <\/em>v. <\/strong><em><strong>Askari Infotech (P) Ltd<\/strong>.<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/VT07W9g3\">(2015) 14 SCC 399<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court, at the outset, observed that the principle laid down in the cases mentioned hereinabove does not cover a case of the instant nature. A trite principle was laid down in the said cases that a Magistrate does not have any power under CrPC to recall, review or reconsider his own order, howsoever illegal it might be. However, in the present case, it was not a matter of legality or otherwise of the order passed by the Magistrate but the manner in which the order was procured by misleading the Court by suppression of material facts and circumstances. <em>Fraud vitiates everything<\/em>, observed the Court. It was noted that the petitioner failed to disclose the fact of filing a complaint with the police; he misused the process by approaching a different Magistrate and had solicited the order which was subsequently set aside by the order impugned. Such and additional facts were serious matters which constitute fraud on the court. The Court was of the view that there was no illegality committed by the Magistrate in recalling his own order. The writ petition was accordingly dismissed. [Deepak v.
