Jagganath Choudhary And Ors vs Ramayan Singh And Anr on 9 May, 2002

In the decision, Jagannath Choudhary v. Ramayan Singh, reported in 2002 SCC (Cri) 1181, the Hon'ble Apex Court has held that the object of revisional jurisdiction as envisaged under Section 401 is to confer upon superior criminal courts a kind of paternal or supervisory jurisdiction, in order to correct miscarriage of justice arising from misconception of law, irregularity of procedure, neglect of proper precautions or apparent harshness of treatment which has resulted on the one hand in some injury to the due maintenance of law and order, or on the other hand in some undeserved hardship to individuals. The main question which the High Court has to consider in an application in revision is whether substantial justice has been done. If however, the same has been an appeal, the applicant would be entitled to demand an adjudication upon all questions of fact or law which he wished to raise, but in revision, the only question is whether the court should interfere in the interests of justice. Where the court concerned does not appear to have committed any illegality or material irregularity or impropriety in passing the impugned judgment and order, the revision cannot succeed.
