Central Warehouse Thr vs Union Of India Thr on 11 May, 2015
37. In Kensington Income Tax Commrs. Viscount
Reading, C.J. observed: (KB pp. 495-96)
"... Where an ex parte application has been made to
this Court for a rule nisi or other process, if the Court
comes to the conclusion that the affidavit in support of
the application was not candid and did not fairly state
the facts, but stated them in such a way as to mislead
the Court as to the true facts, the Court ought, for its
own protection and to prevent an abuse of its process,
to refuse to proceed any further with the examination of
the merits. This is a power inherent in the Court, but one
which should only be used in cases which bring
conviction to the mind of the Court that it has been
deceived. Before coming to this conclusion a careful
examination will be made of the facts as they are and as
they have been stated in the applicant's affidavit, and
everything will be heard that can be urged to influence
the view of the Court when it reads the affidavit and
knows the true facts. But if the result of this examination
and hearing is to leave no doubt that the Court has
been deceived, then it will refuse to hear anything
further from tUdyami Evam Khadi Gramodyog Welfare
