Chelameswar and MY Eqbal, JJ refused to accept the argument that once the order had been dictated in open court, the order to review or recall is not permissible in view of the provisions of Section 362 Cr.P.C. and took the opportunity to explain what a judgment is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The order came in the case where the petitioners were convicted under Section 222 IPC. They had then preferred an appeal before the Gujarat High Court and during the pendency of the appeal, the petitioners had been enlarged on bail in November 2006. 7 years later, in December 2013, the appeal was finally allowed, and the order was dictated in open court allowing the appeal on technical issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the order dictated in open court and acquitting the petitioners was recalled by the court suo moto vide order dated 27.12.2013 and directed the appeal to be reheard on the ground that the court wanted to examine the issue further as to whether in the facts and circumstances of the case where the accused had been police constables, the offence could not be attributed to have been committed under the commission of their duty where sanction under Section 197 Cr.P.C. would be attracted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was, hence, argued that once the order had been dictated in open court, the order to review or recall is not permissible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court rejected the contention and explained that Section 362 Cr.P.C. puts an embargo to call, recall or review any judgment or order passed in criminal case once it has been <strong><em>pronounced and signed<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Court heavily relied on the judgment in Surendra Singh v.
