them

Criminal Justice Delivery System does not cloth Criminal Court with power to alter or review the Judgment or final Order disposing the case except to correct the clerical or arithmetical error. After the Judgment delivered by a Criminal Court or passing final Order disposing the case the Court becomes functus officio and any mistake or glaring omission is left to be corrected only by appropriate forum in accordance with law.
