ORDER
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.
This is a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution G making various prayers.
Petitioner, who is a Bangladesh national, has been convicted by the Additional Sessions Judge, Dakshin Dinajpur H
A at Balurghat, West Bengal under the Foreigners Act for illegally entering India and sentenced to undergo two years rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rupees ten thousand.
In our opinion, if the petitioner has a grievance against that 8 [judgment, ][he ][has a right of appeal ][to ][the High Court ][on ][the ]judicial side. He can also approach the concerned executive authority under Section 432 Cr.P.C. or to the Governor under Article 161 of the Constitution of India. This is a judicial Court and hence this Court has no power which the executive has under Section 432 Cr.P.C or which the Governor has under C Article 161 of the Constitution.
With these observations, the Writ Petition is dismissed.
R.P.
Writ petition dimissed.
