Chandi Prasad Uniyal And Ors vs State Of Uttarakhand And Ors on 17 August, 2012

In our view, the law laid down in Chandi Prasad Uniyal case [(2012) 8 SCC 417 : (2012) 4 SCC (Cri) 450] , no way conflicts with the observations made by this Court in the other two cases. In those decisions, directions were issued in exercise of the powers of this Court under Article 142 of the Constitution, but in the subsequent decision this Patna High Court CWJC No.20503 of 2021 dt.18-09-2024 27/32 Court under Article 136 of the Constitution, in laying down the law had dismissed the petition of the employee. This Court in a number of cases had battled with tracing the contours of the provision in Articles 136 and 142 of the Constitution of India. Distinctively, although the words employed under the two aforesaid provisions speak of the powers of this Court, the former vest a plenary jurisdiction in the Supreme Court in the matter of entertaining and hearing of appeals by granting special leave against any judgment or order made by a court or tribunal in any cause or matter. The powers are plenary to the extent that they are paramount to the limitations under the specific provisions for appeal contained in the Constitution or other laws. Article 142 of the Constitution of India, on the other hand is a step ahead of the powers envisaged under Article 136 of the Constitution of India. It is the exercise of jurisdiction to pass such enforceable decree or order as is necessary for doing "complete justice" in any cause or matter.

Prem Chand Garg vs Excise Commissioner, U. P., Allahabad on 6 November, 1962

9. The word "complete justice" was fraught with uncertainty until Article 142 of the Constitution received its first interpretation in Prem Chand Garg v. Excise Commr. [AIR 1963 SC 996] which added a rider to the exercise of wide extraordinary powers by laying down that though the powers are wide, the same is an Patna High Court CWJC No.20503 of 2021 dt.18-09-2024 28/32 ancillary power and can be used when not expressly in conflict with the substantive provisions of law.
