Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the civil appeal, emphasizing that it will not tolerate false statements made to the court, regardless of whether they come from a junior advocate or any other party. The court found that the explanation provided for the advocate-on-record's absence was not credible, as it involved a false statement regarding medical reasons. The court reiterated the importance of honesty and integrity in legal proceedings, holding that such conduct undermines the judicial process.
