RAJABHAI ABDUL REHMAN MUNSHI vs VASUDEV DHANJlBHAI MODY

The Supreme Court held that the special leave to appeal granted under Article 136 of the Constitution must be vacated due to the appellant's failure to disclose material facts, specifically the withdrawal of Rs. 400 deposited in court. The Court emphasized that the exercise of jurisdiction under Article 136 is discretionary and requires parties to approach the court with clean hands, free from attempts to mislead. The Court found that the case did not warrant interference as the appellant was in default of rent after withdrawing the deposit, thus affirming the lower court's decision.
