Dharma Samaj Society, Aligarh vs Ram Kishan Dass And Anr. on 7 May, 1979
17. The position of the Law as it has emerged out of the decisions discussed above, therefore, seems to be that it is permissible for a Court to invoke its inherent powers where a party approaches a Court with a complaint that the Court has been misled into passing an order at the instance of the person who merely pretended to represent that party though in fact that person had no authority to represent the party. The Court below is thus not right in holding that the remedy of the applicant lay elsewhere, perhaps meaning a regular suit. The dictum laid down in the above cited decisions are fully applicable to the facts of the present case. In my view, the process of the Court was grossly abused in the present case. The provisions of Section 151 C.P.C. are meant precisely for this, namely, to prevent and undo the effects of the abuse of the process of the Court.
