Tara Gulechha vs M/S.Idea Housing Corporation on 19 June, 2014
34.The Hon'ble Apex Court in the judgment in Narendra Kumar
Srivastava Vs State of Bihar reported in (2019) 3 SCC 318, referring
to the case in Santokh Singh Vs Izhar Hussain reported in 1973 SCC
in Cri 828 in which it is held that 'This court has held that very incorrect
or false statement does not make it incumbent on the court to order
prosecution. The court has to exercise judicial discretion in the light of all
the relevant circumstances when it determines the question of expediency.
The court orders prosecution in the larger interest of the administration of
justice and not to gratify the feelings of personal revenge or vindictiveness
or to serve the ends of the private party. Too frequent prosecutions for
such offences tend to defeat its very object. It is only in glaring cases of
deliberate falsehood where conviction is highly likely that the court should
direct prosecution'.
