Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Article 136 of the Constitution, it can intervene to prevent gross injustice, emphasizing that interference is warranted only when a High Court's order is manifestly perverse or palpably unjust. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to initiate perjury proceedings against the appellant under Section 193 IPC, finding that a prima facie case was established. The appeal was dismissed as the Court found no justification to overturn the High Court's order.
