N.NAVEEN KUMAR vs STATE OF A.P

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Andhra Pradesh High Court's dismissal of the appellants' application concerning the confiscation of assets under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, specifically Sections 5(1)(e) and 5(2). The Court held that the High Court was functus officio after dismissing the appeal, and Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. does not empower the court to review its own judgment. Consequently, the appellants' plea to deposit a sum in lieu of confiscation was rejected, affirming the High Court's decision.
