Can't Exercise Inherent Power U/S 482 CrPC In Routine Manner: Gauhati High Court Denies Relief To Person Declared Foreigner On Admission Of Guilt

"The petitioner on being pleaded guilty and serving around one year sentence, has come up with the present petition with certain documents, which he never produced before the I/O as well as before the court, now challenged the impugned order, which cannot be accepted. There appears no any illegality in the order so passed to invoke the provision under Section 482 CrPC. The inherent power under Section 482 CrPC cannot be exercised in a routine manner unless it is shown that the miscarriage of justice has been done in a given case," the Court said.
