Toghral Kamal vs Kiran Shankar Paul & Anr on 8 August, 2014
Mira Banik & Anr. (supra) speaks power of a Court under Article
227 of the Constitution of India. It lays down that,
"Article 227 is an essential weapon, provided to the High Court
through wisdom of the founding fathers of the Constitution, to be
used whenever it is needed according to the need of the hour. It can
be used and utilized to defend as a shield or offend as a sword. If
situation warrants, in order to keep Court within its bounds, in order
to prevent abuse of process, in order to preserve sanctity, restore the
dignity, maintain the faith and inspire confidence of people in it, the
High Court may even quash the plaint or the proceeding in
appropriate case."
