ppn 29 rpwst-34389.18 wt34391.18(j).doc & Ors. in Civil Appeal No. 11822 of 2018 delivered on 4th December 2018 has held that the constitutional courts, being courts of record, the jurisdiction to recall their own orders is inherent by virtue of the fact that they are superior courts of record. In my view, the original petitioner not having brought to the notice of this Court when the matter appeared before this Court on 13th June 2018 that the earlier three petitions were filed by the parties before the Aurangabad bench of this Court and out of those three petitions, one of the petition was filed by the original petitioners themselves arising out of the order passed by the learned Cabinet Minister, Rural Development Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai – 400 032. The review petitioners were not present before this Court when the said matter was heard. In view of extreme urgency shown to this Court, this Court only heard the petitioner and the learned AGP. In my view, since the Principal Bench could not have entertained the said writ petition in view of the Principal Bench having lack of territorial jurisdiction to entertain, try and adjudicate upon the said writ petition, the order passed by this Court on 13th June 2018 deserves to be recalled.
