Smt. Sooraj Devi vs Pyare Lal And Anr on 8 January, 1981
Objection about this question is that the very framing of question is contrary to the provisions of Section 482 Cr.P.C., and the options given are also incorrect. Similar question given in the competitive examination conducted for Rajasthan Judicial Services, 2011 was deleted by this court. According to RPSC, this question was though similarly worded as question no.56 in A-series of the preliminary examination of RJS but option no.4 of this question was given as option no.2 in that examination paper, option no.1 was mentioned as option no.4 and option no.2 as also option no.3 and option no.3 as option no.1. Thus, the options in RJS preliminary examination were arranged in entirely different order. Fourth option of the question herein was mentioned as option no.2 in that examination. Therefore, RPSC on its own deleted it and Division Bench of this court upheld. This court has to analyze the question in the light of the provisions of Cr.P.C. Section 362 of the Cr.P.C. provides that no court shall alter or review its judgment or final order disposing of a case except to correct a clerical or arithmetical error. Though this Section in its saving clause provides that Save as otherwise provide by this Code or by any other law for the time being in force, ..., the Supreme Court in Sooraj Devi Vs. Pyare Lal (1981) 1 SCC 500 held that the inherent power of the Court is not contemplated by the saving provision contained in section 362.
