All the submissions made at the bar relate to the disputed questions of fact, which cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court, only in cases where the Court finds that there has been failure of justice or misuse of judicial mechanism or procedure, sentence or order was not correct, this power may be exercised to prevent the abuse of process of miscarriage of justice.
