'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.

🌟 Theory of Punishment

😊 In the Indian legal system, the court possesses the authority to diminish the severity of the punishment by taking into account multiple factors related to the case and any mitigating circumstances that may be present. The underlying philosophy in India is to adhere to the reformative theory of punishment. This means that the punishment meted out should strike a balance – it should neither be excessively severe nor overly lenient to the extent that it fails to fulfil its intended purpose of making an impact on the offender and serving as a deterrent to others. The prevailing belief is that punishment should be designed in a manner that fosters personal growth and a change in an individual's mindset.

🤔Dilemma -
When an appellant comes to the apex Court carrying a death sentence awarded by the trial court and confirmed by the High Court, the apex Court may find, that the case just falls short of the rarest of the rare category and may feel somewhat reluctant in endorsing the death sentence. But at the same time, having regard to the nature of the crime, the Court may strongly feel that a sentence of life imprisonment subject to remission normally works out to a term of 14 years would be grossly disproportionate and inadequate.

😄 Solution-
This dilemma was dealt by the Supreme Court in Union of India v. V sriharan, 2016 wherein the apex court reiterated its judgement in Swamy Shraddananda v. State of Karnataka, 2008 held that:

The power to impose a modified punishment providing for any specific term of incarceration or till the end of the convict's life as an alternate to death penalty, can be exercised only by the High Court and the Supreme Court and not by any other inferior court.”

First constitutional bench case where L.I. was clarified to be for the remainder of person natural life.
