Jammu & Kashmir High Court<\/strong>: A Single Judge Bench of M.K. Hanjura, J., allowed an application filed against the order dismissing the petitioner\u2019s petition under Section 561-A of the CrPC, 1989 [Jammu & Kashmir]. The petitioner sought quashing of the dismissal order primarily on the ground that it was passed behind his back.<\/p>\n

The main issue, in this case, was whether a criminal Court can recall or review its decision after the date of its delivery.<\/p>\n

The Court applied the ratio laid down by the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court in the case of State of Punjab v. Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar<\/em><\/strong>, (2011) 14 SCC 770<\/a>, wherein the Supreme Court had held that there is no power of review with the criminal court once the judgment has been rendered. However, 4 exceptions to this general rule were also laid down by the Supreme Court: first, if the judgment is pronounced without jurisdiction; second, if it is in violation of the principles of natural justice; third, if it has been pronounced without giving an opportunity of being heard to the party affected by it; and fourth, where the order is obtained by abuse of the process of the Court. In all these cases the High Court under its inherent jurisdiction can recall its judgment.<\/p>\n

The Court held that the petitioner\u2019s case was covered under the above exceptions i.e. the order was passed behind his back and he was not afforded an opportunity of being heard. Hence the impugned order was quashed and recalled by the Court. [Jalal-ud-Din Sofi v. State of J&K,2018 SCC OnLine J&K 519<\/b><\/a>, order dated 24-08-2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
