JHUMMAN SINGH vs CENTRAL BOARD OF INVESTIGATION

The Supreme Court addressed the misuse of judicial processes by the third respondent, who sought to evict the petitioners from their shops through decrees obtained from courts in Gauhati and Gaya without proper notice. The Court emphasized that such actions violate the principles of natural justice and due process, holding that the execution of these decrees against the petitioners was invalid. The Court ordered the immediate cessation of any eviction attempts based on these decrees, reinforcing the necessity of fair legal proceedings under Article 21 of the Constitution.
