IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-25523 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 25.8.2011 Manjit Kaur and others ....Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Tejinder Pal Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The solitary prayer made in the present petition is that the previous petition be disposed of on merits which was on an earlier occasion dismissed as withdrawn. The apprehension expressed by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that even though he acted in the interest of his clients in the wake of the observations of the court by which the petition was likely to be dismissed but he apprehends that his conduct as a counsel would come under a cloud. I have considered the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners. I am afraid, the said prayer cannot be granted as this court has no power to review its own order which has been passed. Besides, the apprehension of the learned counsel for the petitioners is seemingly misplaced. A counsel who makes a statement before the court to withdraw a petition, does so on the apparent Crl.Misc.No.M-25523 of 2011 (O&M) -2- authority given by the client to him to conduct his case in his interest and such a conduct normally cannot be commented upon adversely against the counsel unless there are strong attending circumstances which point to an inference that his conduct is unethical and fraudulent resulting in the betrayal of the trust. No ground to interfere. Dismissed. 25.8.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
