Dont be penic.A judge or a magistrate must follow the law and must act judiciously. if a Jaudge or a Magistrate passes any order illigally, you may file a revision petition or appeal agaist such order or Judgement. Each and every order passed by a Judge or a magistrate must be Judicious, even when a Court excercise its discritionary powers, the discrition must be judicious.
