The vs Concord on 5 August, 2008
The
Court further held that the supervisory jurisdiction of the High
Court is always available to correct errors of law apparent on the
face of record. The mere fact that there is a circular prescribing
monetary limits for litigation by the Department would not stand in
the way of the High Court exercising its jurisdiction. The Court
also held that in those cases where the issue is not covered by a
judgment of the Supreme Court or of the High Court, the Circular
will apply and the Revenue would be bound by the Circulars and the
appeals as filed will have to be rejected, unless they fall within
the exceptions as contained in the circular. In all those matters
where appeals have been preferred and the issue of law arising
therein is covered either by a judgment of the High Court or of the
Supreme Court, it will be open to the High Court to exercise its
jurisdiction and dispose of the appeals in terms of the law declared
by the Supreme Court or by the High Court.
