In its unreported rulings in Criminal Revision Application No. 333 of 1989 decided on 30th July, 1992 (Arunabehn T. Ramanuj v. Vasudev P. Nimavat reported in 1992 (2) GLH 148) and in Criminal Revision Application No. 138 of 1990 decided on 20th August, 1992, ( Kantilal Punjaji Chavda v. Nanubhai Kantilal Chavda and Anr.) this Court has held that revisional powers under the Cr.P.C. are not to be exercised for mere asking. They have to be exercised only in exceptional circumstances and only to do substantial justice between the parties. It has also been held by this Court that revisional powers are discretionary in nature and such powers will not be exercised for upsetting an order, even if it is found not in accordance with law, if ultimately it is found to have done substantial justice between the parties.
