P.T.Joy vs K.V.Sivasankaran on 17 March, 2020
In Kalladikkattil Mohammed Jamal's case, the observation of the
learned magistrate was that the order permitting the accused to file proof
affidavit cannot be recalled, since it was barred under section 362 Cr.P.C,
was held to be improper. It was held that, the order permitting the
accused to file proof affidavit itself was wrong and it was not a judicial
order and it was only proceedings of the trial court which has to be
treated as non est and ultra vires and the court below ought to have
recalled the earlier order. It would not be hit by section 362 Cr.P.C, it was
held.
