The High Court possesses a general power of superintendence over the actions of courts subordinate to it. On its administrative side, the power is known as the power of superintendence. On the judicial side, it is known as the duty of revision. The High Court can at any stage even on its own motion, if it so desires, and certainly when illegalities or irregularities resulting in injustice are brought to its notice, call for the records and examine them. This right of the High Court is as much a part of the administration of justice as its duty to hear appeals and revisions and interlocutory applications — so also its right to exercise its powers of administrative superintendence.” In CBI v. Ashok Kumar Aggarwal, (2013) 15 SCC 222, referring to Sections 397 & 401 Cr.P.C the Supreme Court observed: “These two sections in CrPC do not create any right in the favour of the litigant but only empower/enable the High Court to see that justice is done in accordance with recognised principles of criminal jurisprudence.” From the aforesaid discussion, it is clear that where a manifest illegality by acriminal court resulting in gross failure of justice comes to the notice of the High Court, it is the bounden duty of the High Court as a constitutional court to set right the illegality and to ensure that public confidence in the criminal justice system is maintained. In Y. Balaji v Karthik Desari, 2023 SCC Online SC 645, the Hon’ble Supreme Court observed: “the investigation and trial of a criminal case cannot be converted by the complainant and the accused into a friendly match. If they are allowed to do so, it is the Umpire who will lose his wicket.” By the same token, the public must never get the impression that the Umpire is taking sides lest the whole game is reduced to a farce. In view of the above, discussion the following directions are issued: (a) The Additional Public Prosecutor shall take notice on behalf of the State. (b) The Registry is directed to issue notice to the accused in Special Case No.3 of 2002, on the file of the Principal District Court, Vellore, who are the 2nd and 3rd respondents in this criminal revision, for the hearing on 07.09.2023. (c) The Registry is directed to place a copy of this order before the Hon’ble Chief Justice for information. 10.08.2023 KP Internet: Yes Index: Yes/No Speaking Order/Non-Speaking Order To 1.The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Wing Viluppuram. 2.Public Prosecutor High Court, Madras.
