State Of Punjab And Another vs Shamlal Murari & Anr on 6 October, 1975

speaking for the court in State of Punjab v Shamlal Murari, AIR 1976 Supreme court 1177, that we must always remember that procedural law is not to be a 3 of 7 ::: Downloaded on - 26-02-2018 06:04:01 ::: CR No.6637 of 2017 (O&M) - 4 - tyrant but a servant, not an obstruction but an aid to justice. It has been wisely observed that procedural prescriptions are the hand maid and not the mistress, a lubricant, not a resistant in the administration of justice. Where the non-compliance, the 'procedural' will thwart fair' hearing of prejudice doing of parties, the rule is mandatory. But, grammar apart, if the breach can be corrected without injury to a just disposal of the case, we should not enthrone a regulatory requirement into a dominent desideretum. After all, courts are to do justice, not to wreck this end product on technicalities."
