Karpagavinayagam, J. <\/p>\n<p> 1. M\/s. Thirumani Asphalts and Felts (P) Limited, the respondent herein<br \/>\nfiled two complaints against K. Radhakrishnan in S.T.C.Nos.2470 and 30 11 of<br \/>\n1993 under Section 630 of the Companies Act praying for the conviction and<br \/>\nreturn of the property belonging to the Company.  After trial, in the year<br \/>\n1995, both the cases were ended in conviction.  The petitioner was sentenced<br \/>\nto  pay  fine  and  he  was  directed to return the properties to the Company.<br \/>\nChallenging the same, the petitioner preferred revisions in  C.R.P.Nos.63  and<br \/>\n64 of  1995  before the Sessions Court and the same were dismissed.  Hence, he<br \/>\nfiled petitions  under  Section  482   Cr.P.C.      before   this   Court   in<br \/>\nCrl.O.P.Nos.6150 and 9040 of 1998 and the same were dismissed on 12.5.1999.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2.  Again, the petitioner filed Crl.O.P.Nos.15288 and 15289 of 1999<br \/>\nunder Section 482 Cr.P.C.  before this Court.  The said applications also were<br \/>\ndismissed.  In the meantime, the respondent filed execution petitions in<br \/>\nCrl.M.P.Nos.3538 and 3539 of 1999 in both the complaints praying for the<br \/>\nexecution of the orders passed by the trial Court earlier in the year 1993 in<br \/>\nS.T.C.Nos.2470 and 3011 of 1993.  After hearing the counsel for the parties,<br \/>\nthe said petitions were allowed giving a direction to the petitioner.<br \/>\nAccordingly, in both the complaints, the Execution Court by the order dated<br \/>\n8.12.1999 directed the petitioner to hand over the motor vehicle and the<br \/>\nrecords to the complainant within one week and in default, he would undergo<br \/>\nR.I.  for six months.  Challenging the same, these two revisions have been<br \/>\nfiled.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3.  The counsel for the petitioner would submit that pending the<br \/>\napplications filed by the respondent for execution in Crl.M.P.Nos.353 8 and<br \/>\n3539 of 1998 before the Execution Court, the petitioner filed a memo under<br \/>\nSection 362 Cr.P.C.  to review the matter in view of the fact that the order<br \/>\npassed by the Civil Court in regard to the issue in question is in his favour <\/p>\n<p>and the same has been returned without consideration.  It is also submitted<br \/>\nthat in the connected matter, this Court passed an order in Crl.R.C.  No.33 of<br \/>\n1996 dated 19.6.1998 reported in 1998 Crl.L.J.3583 remanding the case after<br \/>\nsetting aside the dismissal order passed under Section 203 Cr.P.C.  directing<br \/>\nthe trial Court to allow the parties to adduce evidence and decide the issue<br \/>\nand that therefore, the petitioner need not comply with the order passed by<br \/>\nthe trial Court in S.T.C.Nos.2470 and 3011 of 1993 and consequently, the<br \/>\norders passed in the execution petitions in Crl.M.P.Nos.3538 and 3539 of 1998<br \/>\nare illegal.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4.  In order to substantiate his plea, the counsel for the petitioner<br \/>\nwould refer the authorities in V.M.SHAH v.  STATE OF MAHARASHTRA , <a href=\"\/doc\/713825\/\">UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO.LTD.  v.  RAJENDRA SINGH  and M.M.THOMAS<\/a> v.  STATE OF KERALA  contending<br \/>\nthat the Courts have got power of review.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5.  On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondent would<br \/>\npoint out that the trial Court, while passing an order of conviction after<br \/>\ntrial in the main complaints in the year 1995, considered the materials<br \/>\navailable on record and correctly passed an order of conviction and when the<br \/>\nsaid order was confirmed by the Sessions Court as well as this Court, the same<br \/>\ncannot be set aside merely on the reason that some interim orders were passed<br \/>\nby the Civil Court which are in interlocutory nature.  He would also submit<br \/>\nthat the petitioner has successfully drag on the matter from 23.8.199 5, the<br \/>\ndate of conviction till today without complying with the orders passed by the<br \/>\nSessions Court and this Court.  He would further submit that the orders passed<br \/>\nearlier by the trial Court cannot be reviewed, in view of the dictum laid down<br \/>\nby the Supreme Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/556840\/\">RAJAN KUMAR MACHANANDA v.  STATE OF KARNATAKA<\/a> (1990<br \/>\nS.C.C.(CrI.) 537 and <a href=\"\/doc\/1474198\/\">HARI SINGH MANN v.  HARBHAJAN SINGH BAJWA<\/a> (2000 AIR SCW<br \/>\n3848).\n<\/p>\n<p> 6.  I have carefully considered the contentions on either side and<br \/>\nperused the records.\n<\/p>\n<p> 7.  On a careful analysis of the records, I shall state that the<br \/>\npetitioner has not come with clean hands.  He has abused the process of law,<br \/>\nthereby floated the orders of various Courts including this Court.  The above<br \/>\nconclusion has been arrived at due to the following circumstances.\n<\/p>\n<p> 8.  The respondent is a Company incorporated under the Companies Act.<br \/>\nIt has got five Directors of whom the petitioner held 40 per cent of the<br \/>\nsubscribed capital.  The petitioner did not attend three consecutive Board<br \/>\nMeetings and consequently, he ceased to be the Director as per the provisions<br \/>\nof Section 283(1)(g) of the Companies Act.  The petitioner was entrusted with<br \/>\nthe documents and motor vehicle in the capacity as Director.  Through the<br \/>\nBoard&#8217;s resolution, the petitioner was directed to return the documents and<br \/>\nthe vehicle.  Since they were not returned, the respondent filed two<br \/>\ncomplaints in S.T.C.Nos.2470 and 3011 of 1993 under Section 630 of the<br \/>\nCompanies Act.\n<\/p>\n<p> 9.  The trial Court after enquiry, by the order dated 23.8.19 95<br \/>\nconvicted the petitioner in both the complaints and sentenced to pay fine and<br \/>\ndirected the petitioner for the return of the records and motor cycle.<br \/>\nChallenging the same, the petitioner filed two revisions in C.R.P.  Nos.63 and<br \/>\n64 of 1995 before the Sessions Court.  The said revisions were dismissed by<br \/>\nthe order dated 17.3.1998 confirming the order of conviction by the trial<br \/>\nCourt.  Against these orders, the petitioner preferred petitions under Section<br \/>\n482 Cr.P.C.  in Crl.O.P.Nos.6150 and 9040 of 1998, which also resulted in<br \/>\ndismissal by this Court by the order dated 12.5.1999.\n<\/p>\n<p> 10.  Thereafter, the petitioner again chose to file similar petitions<br \/>\nunder Section 482 Cr.P.C.  in Crl.O.P.Nos.15288 and 15289 of 1999 before this<br \/>\nCourt praying for setting aside the orders passed by the trial Court in<br \/>\nS.T.C.Nos.2470 and 3011 of 1993 dated 23.8.1995.  After hearing the counsel<br \/>\nfor the parties, this Court dismissed the said petitions specifically<br \/>\nobserving that the applications were not only unsustainable in law but also<br \/>\nclear abuse of process of Court.  At that stage, the respondent filed<br \/>\napplications for execution before the trial Court and the same were allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p> 11.  It is seen from the orders passed by the trial Court in<br \/>\nS.T.C.Nos.2470 and 3011 of 1993 dated 23.8.1995 and the orders of the Sessions<br \/>\nCourt in C.R.P.Nos.63 and 64 of 1998 dated 17.3.1998 and the orders passed by<br \/>\nthis Court in Crl.O.P.Nos.6150 and 9040 of 1998 dated 12.5.1999 and the orders<br \/>\npassed by this Court again in Crl.O.P.Nos.15288 and 15289 on 26.10.19 99 would<br \/>\nclearly show that the counsel for the petitioner has argued before all the<br \/>\nforums that the matter is pending before the Civil Court and the interim<br \/>\norders have been passed in favour of the petitioner and that therefore, the<br \/>\nCriminal Court will not have jurisdiction to find the petitioner guilty.  This<br \/>\npoint has been deal with by every forum.\n<\/p>\n<p> 12.  At this juncture, it would be worthwhile to refer to the<br \/>\nobservation made by this Court in the applications under Sections 482 Cr.P.C.<br \/>\nfiled by the petitioner in Crl.O.P.Nos.6150 and 9040 of 1998 dated 12 .5.1999,<br \/>\nwhich is this:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Coming to the facts of the instant case,<br \/>\nit should be pointed out that the complaint has<br \/>\nbeen preferred against the petitioner as early<br \/>\nas 1993.  The trial court has disposed of the<br \/>\nmatter on 23.5.95 and the revisional court has<br \/>\nalso disposed of the matter on 17.3.98.  It is<br \/>\ncurious that the petitioner had filed the civil<br \/>\nsuit only during 1998.  Of course, the<br \/>\npetitioner had filed a company petition in<br \/>\nC.P.No.1\/96 before this court, which was later<br \/>\ndismissed.  Even C.P.No.1\/96 had not been filed<br \/>\nbefore the learned Judicial Magistrate disposed<br \/>\nof the criminal case pending against the<br \/>\npetitioner.  What has been stated by Their<br \/>\nLordships of the Supreme Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/21852\/\">ATUL MATHUR<br \/>\nv.  ATUL KALRA AND ANOTHER<\/a> (1989(4) Supreme<br \/>\nCourt Cases p.514) squarely applies to the<br \/>\nfacts of the instant case, because the<br \/>\npetitioner had filed a suit in civil court,<br \/>\nunder the given circumstances, it cannot be<br \/>\nsaid that the civil court was in seisin of the<br \/>\nmatter at the time when the learned Judicial<br \/>\nMagistrate passed order.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>13.  In the above paragraph, the learned single Judge<br \/>\nof this Court would specifically refer about the decision of<br \/>\nthe Supreme Court in  (supra), wherein it<br \/>\nis held that merely because the accused had schemingly filed<br \/>\na suit in Civil Court, it can never be said that the Civil<br \/>\nCourt was in seisin of a bona fide dispute between the<br \/>\nparties and as such, the Criminal Court should have stayed<br \/>\nits hands when the Company filed a complaint under Section<br \/>\n630 of the Companies Act.  Thus, it is clear that the point<br \/>\nurged before this Court has already been dealt with by this<br \/>\nCourt as early as 12.5.1999.\n<\/p>\n<p> 14.  Instead of challenging the said order passed by<br \/>\nthis Court before the Apex Court, the petitioner chose to<br \/>\napproach this Court again by filing other applications, as<br \/>\nnoted above, in Crl.O.P.Nos.15288 and 15289 of 1999.  When a <\/p>\n<p>similar argument was advanced before another single Judge of<br \/>\nthis Court, he would make the following observation<br \/>\nrejecting the said contention:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;It is necessary to state that the learned<br \/>\nJudicial Magistrate No. VII, Coimbatore had<br \/>\nimposed a fine of Rs.200\/- against the<br \/>\npetitioner on 23.8.95.  Thereafter only, the<br \/>\npetitioner filed two revision petitions before<br \/>\nthe Sessions Court, Coimbatore and they were<br \/>\nalso dismissed.  Later, the petitioner filed<br \/>\ntwo petitions under Section 482 of the Code of<br \/>\nCriminal Procedure, raising the very same<br \/>\ngrounds and they were also dismissed.  In spite<br \/>\nof this, it is not known how the present<br \/>\npetitions have been filed under Section 482 of<br \/>\nthe Code of Criminal Procedure raising the very<br \/>\nsame ground.  If really the petitioner was<br \/>\naggrieved against the orders passed by this<br \/>\nCourt in Crl.O.Ps.6150 and 9040 of 1998, he<br \/>\nought to have moved the Apex Court after<br \/>\nobtaining special leave.  The conduct of the<br \/>\npetitioner would only indicate that these two<br \/>\npetitions are again filed reiterating the very<br \/>\nsame contentions, which have been negatived by<br \/>\nthis Court in the earlier proceedings.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 15.  While arguing in the said applications, the<br \/>\nlearned counsel for the petitioner would refer about the<br \/>\nconnected matter in Crl.R.C.No.33 of 1996, wherein the<br \/>\nmatter was remanded for fresh enquiry and contended that the<br \/>\norder of conviction was illegal.  While dealing with the<br \/>\nsaid contention, the learned single Judge in the said order<br \/>\nwould correctly observe that the order of remand cannot be<br \/>\nmade use of to set aside the order of conviction by the<br \/>\ntrial Court as these proceedings are different.\n<\/p>\n<p> 16.  In this context, I shall state that<br \/>\nCrl.R.C.No.33 of 1996 was disposed of by me by remanding the<br \/>\nmatter to conduct enquiry in regard to the averments made in<br \/>\nthe complaint filed by the petitioner.  The said order was<br \/>\npassed in the year 1998.  The said matter which arises out<br \/>\nof the complaint filed by the petitioner would not in any<br \/>\nway affect the order of the trial Court convicting the<br \/>\npetitioner for the offence under Section 630 of the<br \/>\nCompanies Act after conducting trial which was passed in the<br \/>\nyear 1995.  Therefore, the remand observation made in the<br \/>\nabove order also was correctly negatived by the learned<br \/>\nsingle Judge.  While dismissing the said applications, this<br \/>\nCourt in its order dated 26.10.1999 would observe that those<br \/>\napplications filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C.  seeking for<br \/>\nthe review of the order passed by this Court earlier are not<br \/>\nmaintainable and they are nothing but an abuse of process of<br \/>\nlaw.\n<\/p>\n<p> 17.  As a matter of fact, the specific finding has<br \/>\nbeen given in the said order that the Company adduced<br \/>\nevidence both oral and documentary to establish that the <\/p>\n<p>Board of Directors decided to get back or recover the<br \/>\nproperty belonging to the Company from the petitioner and<br \/>\nwhen once this has been established, the only course open to<br \/>\nthe petitioner is to return the property.  Despite this<br \/>\norder, no attempt has been made to comply with the order by<br \/>\nthe petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p> 18.  The said order also has not been challenged<br \/>\nbefore the Apex Court.  On the other hand, the petitioner<br \/>\nchose to file a memo before the trial Court seeking for<br \/>\nreview of its own order on the basis of some observation<br \/>\nmade in  (supra), that too when the<br \/>\npetitions filed for execution in Crl.M.P.Nos.3538 and 3539<br \/>\nof 1998 were pending before the Execution Court.  As a<br \/>\nmatter of fact, the Supreme Court in  has<br \/>\nbeen referred to in the order dated 12.5.1999 passed by this<br \/>\nCourt.\n<\/p>\n<p> 19.  Though it is stated in some of the decisions as<br \/>\npointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that<br \/>\nthe Court has got power to correct any error apparent on the<br \/>\nface of record, the same cannot be done in this case, in<br \/>\nview of the bar engrafted under Section 362 Cr.P.C.  and<br \/>\nalso in view of the dictum laid down in 2000 AIR SCW<br \/>\n3848(supra).  It is held in the above judgment of the<br \/>\nSupreme Court as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;There is no provision in the Code of<br \/>\nCriminal Procedure authorising the High Court<br \/>\nto review its judgment passed either in<br \/>\nexercise of its appellate or revisional or<br \/>\noriginal criminal jurisdiction.  Such a power<br \/>\ncannot be exercised with the aid or under the<br \/>\ncloak of S. 482, S. 362 of the Code mandates that<br \/>\nno Court, when it has signed its judgment or<br \/>\nfinal order disposing of a case shall alter or<br \/>\nreview the same except to correct a clerical or<br \/>\narithmetical error.  The section is based on an<br \/>\nacknowledged principle of law that once a<br \/>\nmatter is finally disposed of by a Court, the<br \/>\nsaid Court in the absence of a specific<br \/>\nstatutory provision becomes functus officio and<br \/>\ndisentitled to entertain a fresh prayer for the<br \/>\nsame relief unless the former order of final<br \/>\ndisposal is set aside by a Court of competent<br \/>\njurisdiction in a manner prescribed by law.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Court becomes functus officio the moment<br \/>\nthe official order disposing of a case is<br \/>\nsigned.  Such an order cannot be altered except<br \/>\nto the extent of correcting a clerical or<br \/>\narithmetical error.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 20.  In view of the above observation of the Supreme<br \/>\nCourt, it can be held that the petitioner filed application<br \/>\nafter application before this Court by abusing process of<br \/>\nlaw in order to achieve the object of the complainant not<br \/>\ngetting the fruits of the order.\n<\/p>\n<p> 21.  One other disturbing feature which can be<br \/>\nnoticed in this case is that the petitioner did not choose<br \/>\nto refer about the orders passed under Section 482 Cr.P.C.<br \/>\ndated 26.10.1999 either in the counter filed for the<br \/>\nexecution petitions before the trial Court or in the memo<br \/>\nwhich was subsequently returned or in the revision petitions<br \/>\nfiled before this Court.  This is nothing but suppression of<br \/>\nthe material fact.  Thus, I am clear to reiterate the<br \/>\nobservation made by the learned single Judge in<br \/>\nCrl.O.P.Nos.15288 and 15289 dated 26.10.1999 that the<br \/>\npetitioner in order to flout the orders of the Courts has<br \/>\npreferred these revisions without clean hands by suppressing<br \/>\nhe facts.\n<\/p>\n<p> 22.  As pointed out by the learned counsel for the<br \/>\nrespondent, the interim orders, which are in interlocutory<br \/>\nnature, passed by the Civil Court in the interim<br \/>\napplications pending suit would not automatically change the<br \/>\nfinding of the Criminal Court which was given on the basis<br \/>\nof the materials placed before it.  It is also admitted that<br \/>\nthere is no full-fledged trial and no finding has been given<br \/>\nby the civil Court after trial is over.  Therefore, both the<br \/>\nrevisions are dismissed.  Consequently, connected Crl.M.Ps.<br \/>\nare closed.\n<\/p>\n<p> 23.  In view of the conduct of the petitioner, who<br \/>\nhas dragged on the matter for long number of years by<br \/>\nabusing the process of law in the Courts, I deem it fit to<br \/>\nimpose costs of Rs.10,000\/- in each petition and the same<br \/>\nshall be paid directly to the respondent within one month<br \/>\nfrom today, and accordingly ordered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court K.
