Procedural Posture

Criminal Revision Under Chapter XXXI CPC / Judgment (application Dismissed)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether High Court in a criminal revision can order issuance of a Special Pass under Regulation 14 Immigration Regulations 1963
  2. 2 Whether the remand order dated 26 January 2022 is a nullity and ought to be set aside by revision
  3. 3 Whether ongoing habeas corpus proceedings render a criminal revision inappropriate or duplicative

Ratio Decidendi

The Court refused to set aside the 26 January 2022 remand order because the applicants' challenge properly belongs to the ongoing habeas corpus/judicial review proceedings, the Court in a criminal revision cannot compel the Director General of Immigration to issue Special Passes absent a direct challenge to cancellation/deportation orders and absent the Director General as party, and granting relief would be futile given subsequent remand orders and deportation steps.

Court Disposition

Application for criminal revision dismissed; remand order of 26 January 2022 not set aside.

Orders

  • Application for revision dismissed
  • Remand order dated 26 January 2022 upheld; no order compelling issuance of Special Passes
