Executive Committee Of Vaish Degree ... vs Lakshmi Narain And Ors on 12 December, 1975

19.It has been held in Executive Committee of Vaish Degree Suit No. 998/2010 Page No. 10 of 12 College, Shamli v. Lakshmi NarainĀ­AIR 1976 SUPREME COURT 888 that the relief of declaration and injunction under the provisions of the Specific Relief Act is purely discretionary and the plaintiff cannot claim it as right. The relief has to be granted by the Court according to sound legal principles and ex debito justitiae. The Court has to administer justice between the parties and cannot convert itself into an instrument of injustice or an engine of oppression. In these circumstances, while exercising its discretionary powers the Court must keep in mind the well settled principles of justice and fair play and should exercise the discretion only if the ends of justice require it, for justice is not an object which can be administered in vacuum. Clearly, if a party supresses material facts from the court then the relief of injunction and declaration cannot be granted to that party.
