Once the case is disposed stating plaint returned, can the court reopen the same case suo moto?

Dear Sir/Madam, 

 Partition suit is filed 15 years ago but recently judge disposed the case stating, Plaint returned. This suit would not fall under this jurisdiction becasuse of pecuniary jurisdiction.

5 Days later judge reopened the case suo moto and recalled the order and restored to its original stage without anybody filing any application. 

Can a judge recall an order and reopen the case suo moto without an application after disposing the case?

Thank you.



Quick Summary
A partition suit filed 15 years ago was recently disposed of with the plaint returned due to pecuniary jurisdiction issues. Five days later, the judge reopened the case suo motu, recalling the order and restoring it to its original stage without any application being filed. This raises the question of whether a judge has the authority to recall an order and reopen a case independently after its disposal.

If the market value is enhanced then the court can do it.

What is the Case No? Which Court?

A civil Court has the powers to review its decisions suo moto.
