Recently, hon’ble Supreme Court in RAJENDRA PRASAD GUPTA V. PRAKASH CHANDRA MISHRA & ORS. {(2011) 2 SCC 705; Civil Appeal No(s). 984 of 2006-Decided on 12-01-2011} has held as follows (in para 2). Rules of procedure are handmaids of justice. Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure gives inherent powers to the court to do justice. That provision has to be interpreted to mean that every procedure is permitted to the court for doing justice unless expressly prohibited, and not that every procedure is prohibited unless expressly permitted.

ANASUYA DEVI’S CASE (supra), and in fact, SECTION 33 OF THE STAMP ACT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN ADVERTED TO in the said judgment. The Supreme Court in the case of N. Bhargavan Pillai Vs. State of Kerala 2004 (13) SCC 217 has laid down that when any judgment, even of a Supreme Court, does not advert to a direct provision of law then, the JUDGMENT IS TO BE TREATED AS HAVING BEEN RENDERED PER INCURIAM.” (capitals mine)

The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that it will attach property worth Rs 2,000 crore of two companies involved in the 2G spectrum scam. The attachment process under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) will be finished in the next two months, the ED said.

Eleven out of 21 members of the Committee rejected the draft report on 2-G scam prepared by the Chairman of the Committee Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi. The Committee was scheduled to submit its report by Saturday. Dr. M M Joshi left the meeting after unprecedented scenes were witnessed. Nine members of BJP, JD(U), BJD and AIDMK too left the proceedings after departure of MM Joshi.

Hon’ble Supreme Court in Provash Chandra Dalui & Anr (supra) has held that the essential element of waiver is that there must be a voluntary and intentional relinquishment of a known right or such conduct as warrants the inference of the relinquishment of such right. It means the forsaking the assertion of a right at the proper opportunity. Further, hon’ble Supreme Court in Smt. Dularia Devi (supra) observed that in Ningawwa v. Byrappa & 3 Ors (supra) this Court said the legal position will be different if there is a fraudulent misrepresentation not merely as to the contents of the document but as to its character. The authorities make a clear distinction between fraudulent misrepresentation as to the character of the document and fraudulent misrepresentation as to the contents thereof. With reference to the former, it has been held that the transaction is void, while in the case of the latter, it is merely voidable.
