(1.) THIS petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by an Addl. Sessions i'udge for expunging the following remarks, which shall appear hereinafter, recorded by me in my judgment in Crl. Misc. Case No. 2610 of 1982 decided on 8-2-1985 :- " I am not satisfied, therefore, that the learned Additional Sessions Judge, while functioning under section 397 CrPC was competent in law to direct that petitioner Narendra Kumar Srivastava be impleaded as a co-accused.

(2.) IT appears that in consequence of the remarks the following remarks were communicated to him by the Addl. Registrar of this Court :- " The officer passed an order u/Sec.397 CrPC to prosecute and implead as co-accused a strauger without caring to examine the limits of his jurisdiction. Below standard. "

KUNWAR Rahgvendra Singh, Advocate, has appeared for the petitioner and has not been able to show that there was any error or impropriety in the observation of this Court that the Court was not satisfied that the learned Addl. Sessions Judge while functioning under Section 397 CrPC was competent in law to direct, N. K. Srivastava to be impleaded as a co-accused. His contention is that the remark as communicated to the officer by the Addl. Registrar is not the one as recorded in the judgment and that the remark is likely to affect the officer's career adversely. He has not been able to show that the petitioner was required to be heard in the course of the revision before the above remark could be incorporated in the judgment ; in his own words, it is in expression of the error committed by the petitioner as the Presiding Officer of the court which decided the case. There is no question therefore of the petitioner's having been given any opportunity of being heard before an analysis of his judicial performance, which was found to be adverse, could be made (by this Court.
