Illegal assumption of Jurisdiction by the Court

If the court assumed illegal jurisdiction and imposed fine and imprisonment to the accused should the court refund the fine and pay compensation to the accused? Or can the court says that it was not aware of the laws and acted innocently as not amounting to malice in law?

It is the presumtion that every person know's all acts / laws  which are  passed by the parliament . No one can take defence that he don't know the law. ordinary man can't take this defence, how can court take this defence ?.So far jurisdiction of criminal court is concerned  Cr.P.C sec.190 to 195  are very clear. If the court dont have jurisdiction it shall be transfer to the court which have proper Jurisdiction.you can file the appeal &  you will get the justice from appellate court.

Dear Sirs,

What about section 3 of the Judges (Protection) Act, 1985 (Act No. 59 of 1985)
