New Delhi: In an important ruling, the Supreme Court has said the High Court can review its own order in a criminal case only under rare circumstances such as when the relief has been obtained by playing fraud on the court otherwise it can not review its order in criminal case ordinarily. A bench comprising Justices S B Sinha and V S Sirpurkar also ruled, “By reason of the authority granted by a litigant in favour of his advocate which, inter alia, empowers the latter to enter into a settlement, any settlement arrived at on behalf of a party would be binding on the parties there too.” The apex court while dismissing the appeal of R Rajeshwari, who had challenged the Karnataka High Court’s order on the grounds that her counsel played fraud on her and had entered into a settlement without her consent, permitted the appellant to approach the concerned bar council for an appropriate action against the lawyer concerned.
