Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court exercised its jurisdiction under Articles 129, 136, and 142 of the Constitution of India to address massive fraud involving Tejwant Singh and his family, as well as corporate entities like Skipper Construction Pvt. Ltd. The Court emphasized that technicalities should not obstruct substantive justice and that fraud vitiates all transactions. The Court ordered investigations into properties and fund diversions related to the fraudulent activities, ensuring justice is served despite the inadequacies of existing laws.
