Recall of order

--- Recall of order --- Locus poenitentiae --- Scope --- Although locus poenitentiae is the power of receding till a decisive step is taken, but it is not a principle of law that an order once passed becomes irrevocable and is a past and closed transaction --- If an order is illegal, then a perpetual right cannot be created on the basis of such illegal order --- Indeed, the principle of locus poenitentiae does not extend to orders which are patently illegal or orders obtained as a result of fraud.
