                                      (K. Ramaswamy, G. B. Pattanaik JJ)

                                                      22.01.1996

                                                        ORDER

1. This Court by order dated 2-3-1995 disposed of the appeal in the light of the earlier law laid
down by this Court. Review petitions in these appeals were filed and the same came to be dismissed
on 10-5-1995. Now these applications have been filed after changing the counsel for clarification
and modification of the order.

IA No. ... in CA No. 3450 of 1995

2. When this Court asked the counsel as to under what provisions of law these applications are
maintainable, the counsel found himself unable to bring to our notice any provision under which
this application could be entertained. The counsel states that the Court can do it under its inherent
power. Inherent power is meant only to correct orders when other remedy is not available. Since the
remedy by way of review under the rules of this Court has been provided for and has been availed
of, the inherent power cannot be invoked again for further clarification or modification. It would be
an obvious abuse of the process of law without any responsibility.

3. The IA is accordingly dismissed.

4. If the decree is not drawn in accordance with the directions of this Court, then remedy would be
open to the petitioners to have that decree corrected according to law. IAs are accordingly disposed
of.
