1. The Supreme Court, in Nidhi Kaim and Another vs. State of Madhya Pradesh and Others (Vyapam Case), has held that the jurisdiction conceived of under Article 142 of the Constitution, to do complete justice in a matter, cannot be invoked, in a situation as the one in hand. Even the trivialist act of wrong doing, based on a singular act of fraud, cannot be countenanced, in the name of justice. [(2017) 2 MLJ 412 (SC) : LNIND 2017 SC 71] Read more

4. The Orissa High Court, in R. Waralaxmi vs. Southco and others, has held that the undertakings from the Writ Petitioner having not been obtained as per Orissa Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1992 and the notice also being not issued in terms of the provisions of law to recover the excess amount, if any, the recovery of the entire amount of gratuity from her savings bank account without her notice is nothing but abuse of process of law and consequently, the violation of the principles of natural justice available to the Writ Petitioner.
