“I believe decision-making is somewhat like, to borrow the words of a distinguished scholar, riding a bicycle. If you are teetering out of control, it is unlikely that a complicated theory will help you restore the balance. In the moments of imbalance, we are unlikely to find solutions in very complicated, theoretical statements of the law or policy. The stabilising influence in such moments of crisis is often a very simple idea of justice. The strength of a simple idea lies in the fact that it comes from the vast experience of a judge as a lawyer, as a student of the law, and as a discerning, observing member of the society.”

🤔 Fact on leap year 😉

The Gregorian Calendar was then introduced on October 4th 1582 and, to realign it to the Julian Calendar, it was necessary to eliminate ten days by passing directly to October 15. And therefore from 5 to 14 October no one was born, no one died. Nothing happened.

Leap year on every year divisible by 4 and 400 but not every 100 year due to 365.2422 days in a revolution (not a round figure) so Yes 2000 was an Amazing Year which was divisible by 400.

'Article 142 Doesn't Empower Court To Ignore Substantive Rights Of Litigants' : Supreme Court Issues Guidelines On Exercise Of Inherent Powers
https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/supreme-court-article-142-guidelines-substantive-rights-litigants-250981

👨‍⚖️ 1️⃣4️⃣2️⃣ Important parameters for the exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution

(i) The jurisdiction can be exercised to do complete justice between the parties before the Court. It cannot be exercised to nullify the benefits derived by a large number of litigants based on judicial orders validly passed in their favour who are not parties to the proceedings before this Court;

(ii) Article 142 does not empower this Court to ignore the substantive rights of the litigants; and

(iii) While exercising the jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution of India, this Court can always issue procedural directions to the Courts for streamlining procedural aspects and ironing out the creases in the procedural laws to ensure expeditious and timely disposal of cases. This is because, while exercising the jurisdiction under Article 142, this Court may not be bound by procedural requirements of law. However, while doing so, this Court cannot affect the substantive rights of those litigants who are not parties to the case before it. The right to be heard before an adverse order is passed is not a matter of procedure but a substantive right.

(iv) The power of this Court under Article 142 cannot be exercised to defeat the principles of natural justice, which are an integral part of our jurisprudence

Duty To Assist The Cause Of Justice, Not Just The Client
https://www.livelaw.in/articles/duty-to-assist-the-cause-of-justice-not-just-the-client-250716

👑 “Although the government technically loses its case, it has really won if justice has been done.”



In India, it was captured in beautiful words in Ram Ranjan Roy vs Emperor AIR 1915 by the Calcutta High Court. Later, in Ghirrao vs Emperor AIR 1933 Oudh the Oudh Chief Court outlined the responsibility of a prosecutor by stating- “his duty as a public prosecutor is not merely to secure the conviction of the accused at all costs but to place before the court whatever evidence in possession of the prosecution, whether it be in favour of or against the accused and to leave it to the court to decide upon all such evidence, whether the accused had or had not committed the offence with which he stood charged.”

Again, in the context of prosecutors, the Supreme Court of India noted in Shakila Abdul Gafar Khan vs Vasant Raghunath Dhoble 2003 that “it is as much the duty of the prosecutor as of the court to ensure that full and material facts are brought on record so that there might not be miscarriage of justice.”

On the overall fairness expected in litigation by the government, in the case of Urban Improvement Trust, Bikaner vs Mohan Lal 2010 the Supreme Court of India observed that governments and statutory authorities must not raise frivolous and unjust objections or act in a callous or highhanded manner, and must rather act as model or ideal litigants.
