TO, MR. ZEESHAN,
At the out set I am dealing with the comment of Mr. Thomas Jefferson, 3rd. President of the U.S. he said ' if a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.' In this context I FULLY AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT IN AS MUCH AS in a Democratic country law creates by the Parliament(which is a platform of the representative of the people) any enactment is made by the Parliament which the citizens have to obey and any violation thereof is punishable by law. But the subject matter of the query under reply is not the violation of LAW. but erroneous order of a criminal court that caused miscarriage of Justice. My dear friend, Law and Order are altogether two different and significant words denoting two different meaning. Now I AM DEALING WITH YOUR QUERY "can an interim order by Family Court is applied for revision in HC U/S 401 Cr. P.C. if there are factual errors in the order? " Now let us have a look to the object of Sec.401 Cr. P.C. AND ITS APPLICABILITY-
Sec. 401 Cr. P.C - relates to criminal cases only . T he object behind Sec.401 is to empower the High Court to exercise the powers of an appellate court to prevent failure of JUSTICE in cases where the code does not provide for Appeal. The power however is to be exercised only in exceptional cases where there has been miscarriage of justice owing to-( 1 ) a defect in the procedure, or ( 2 ) a manifest error on a point of law, (3 ) excess of jurisdiction,`( 4) abuse of power,( 5 ) where the decision upon which the trial court relied has since been reversed or overruled when the revision petition was being heard.
