A batsman can be recalled - the most famous instance is GR VIshwanath
doing so -

"GR Viswanath was the captain who recalled Bob Taylor when he was
given out by the umpire. Vishy, who was at first slip, immediately
realised that Bob's bat had brushed the pads, which had misled the
umpire into giving him out caught behind. Like the true sportsman he
is, Vishy walked up to the umpire and politely withdrew the appeal.
The match was delicately poised then and the subsequent partnership
between Ian Botham and Bob Taylor took England to a winning position.
India lost the Test, but Vishy is remembered for that and loved all
the more for it."

- excerpted from the Colin Powdery lecture by Sunil Gavaskar at Lords -  2003
If the captain believes the decision was wrong he may request the
umpire to overturn the decision, however it must happen before the
next batsman is in.

Of course Gavaskar has always had a special place in his heart for
Vishy, more so after Vishy became his brother in law :P
