Cheque bounce case -- Scope and extent of revisional jurisdiction of the High Court in dealing with order passed by trial court and upheld by appellate court is limited and revisional jurisdiction should be exercised in exceptional cases where there was some glaring defect in the procedure or there was a manifest error on a point of law and consequently, there had been a flagrant miscarriage of justice.
