The order dated 17 January 2026 remanding the case to the Sessions Court is recalled.
Summary
In Criminal Appeal No.151 of 2015, the applicant filed an interim application seeking recall of the Court's order dated 17 January 2026 which had remanded the matter to the Sessions Court. The applicant argued that the appellant's absence before the High Court on that date would create a technical difficulty for the Sessions Court. Relying on the Supreme Court's view in Celestium Financial Ltd. v. A. Gnanasekaran (2005) SC 2099, counsel contended that the order should be set aside. The learned judge considered the submission and found merit in the argument. Consequently, the order of 17 January 2026 was recalled and the interim application was disposed of.
Issues considered
- What is the effect of the appellant's non-appearance on a remand order?
- Whether the High Court can recall its own order of remand on technical grounds?
Subjects
- criminal appeal
- interim application
- remand
- recall of order
- procedural issue
