Orissa High Court Recalls Judgment on Mistake of Fact: Orissa High Court

The Orissa High Court recalled its prior judgment on grounds of “mistake of fact”, observing that the earlier order was based on incomplete or wrong factual premises. The Court held that where a fundamental factual misunderstanding has led to an order, the court may set aside its own judgment to prevent miscarriage of justice. This decision affirms the inherent power of courts to correct their own mistakes when fairness demands it, and clarifies the procedural route for such recalls.
