The main legal point established in the judgment is that the court has the power to recall an order under Section 362 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, especially when the opposite party has not been heard, and the case falls within the conditions laid down under Section 482 of the Code.

( 1 ) THEY are heard on the objection under Section 362 of the Code of Criminal Procedure by the applicant. This Court, while allowing the revision filed by the applicant, reversed the order of the First Addl. Sessions Judge, Jabalpur dated 12-7-1990 passed in Criminal Revision No. 19/89 and affirmed that of the Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jabalpur dated 18-12-1988 passed in Complaint Case No. 1154/88, discharging the applicant from the liability of an offence under Section 420, IPC.

( 2 ) SUBSEQUENT to the dismissal of the revision petition, the non-applicant filed an application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in Misc. Criminal Case No. 3680/95 and this Court while exercising the inherent powers, recalled the order dated 8-8-1994 passed in Criminal Revision No. 595/90.

( 3 ) SHRI Tiwari, learned counsel for the applicant has contended that Section 362 of the Code of Criminal Procedure prohibits the Court from altering or reviewing the final order passed, except correction of clerical errors. Therefore, the order dated 10-5-1995 passed in Misc. Criminal Case No. 3680/95 is bad in law. Shri Tiwari also placed reliance on a decision of the Apex Court in State of Orissa v. Ramchander, AIR 1979 SC 87 : (1979 Cri LJ 33) wherein the Apex Court has held that once judgment has been pronounced by a High Court either in exercise of its appellate or its revisional jurisdiction, no review or revision can be entertained against that Judgement as there is no provision in the Code which would enable the High Court to review the same or to exercise revisional jurisdiction.

( 4 ) HOWEVER, in the facts and circumstances of the instant case, the above decision has no application. There is a distinction between review and recalling of the order. By order dated 10-5-1995, this Court recalled the order dated 8-8-1994 passed in Criminal Revision No. 595/90 and not reviewed the same. It is well settled that where a petition under Section 482 of the Code has been filed for recalling of the order of the Court on the ground that the opposite party has not been heard, the petition is maintainable. Section 362 does not impose any prohibition for recalling the order. In this connection reference may be made to the case of Giridharilal v. Pratap Rai Mehta, 1989 Cri LJ 2382 (Kant ). A Full Bench of the Rajasthan High Court in Habu v. State of Rajasthan AIR 1987 Raj 83, has also observed that the power to recall is different from the power to alter or review the judgment and the powers under Section 482 can and should be exercised by the High Court for recalling the judgment in case hearing is not given to the accused and the case falls within one of the three conditions laid down under Section 482 of the Code.

( 5 ) IN the instant case, it is obvious that the order dated 8-8-1994 passed in Criminal Revision No. 595 of 1990 that it was heard in the absence of the respondent or his counsel, as they failed to appear despite service of notice.

( 6 ) FOR the reasons mentioned above, the order dated 10-5-1996 passed in Misc. Criminal Case No. 3680/95 recalling the order dated 8-8-1995 passed in Criminal Revision No. 595/90 does not suffer from any infirmity. There is no merit in the application. Accordingly it is dismissed. Application dismissed.
