Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of truth and full disclosure in judicial proceedings, stating that litigants who misrepresent facts or suppress material information are not entitled to relief under Article 136 of the Constitution. Citing precedents such as Hari Narain v. Badri Das and G. Narayanaswamy Reddy v. Governor of Karnataka, the Court reiterated that misleading the Court disqualifies a party from being heard on the merits of the case. The Court held that the special leave petitions were dismissed due to the petitioners' failure to disclose relevant facts, reinforcing the principle that justice must be sought with integrity.
