Nafar Chandra Jute Mills Ltd. vs United Bank Of India And Ors.

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.
