Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized that litigants who engage in falsehood, misrepresentation, or suppression of facts are not entitled to relief under Article 136 of the Constitution. Citing Hari Narain v. Badri Das, the Court reiterated the importance of truthfulness in applications for special leave, stating that misleading statements can lead to revocation of such leave. The Court also referenced G. Narayanaswamy Reddy v. Governor of Karnataka, where relief was denied due to the concealment of material facts, affirming that full disclosure is essential for obtaining discretionary relief.
