Supreme Court says Madras HC violated natural justice principles by recalling ED case it had quashed

The Supreme Court of India has strongly criticized the Madras High Court for its action of suo motu (on its own motion) recalling its own previous order that had quashed a case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The apex court ruled that the Madras High Court's recall of its earlier judgment was in violation of the principles of natural justice and the established procedures for judicial review. This judgment from the Supreme Court reinforces the importance of the finality of judicial decisions and the need to adhere to proper legal processes when seeking to review or modify a previously issued court order.
