On Wednesday (July 23, 2025), the Supreme Court remembered its three -year judgment in the land dispute after the court had suppressed material facts and observed that justice and fraud could not exist.
The three -axis judges of the judges Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta and Ujjjal Bhuyan rejected the claim that the judgment of the Top Court was without a memory, even the court itself.
“Fraud and justice cannot dwell together, the legislature never intends to protect fraud, the question of restriction does not arise, if the fraud is proven, and even the finality of court disputes cannot be pushed into the service of absurd limits when fraud is decaying.”
The Court referred to its natural powers and declared its judgment in May 2022 in the matter invalidity and concluded that fraud was intrigued by the whole legal proceedings.
“Nothing … Nothing … and nothing, obtained by fraud, can not be maintained because the fraud reveals everything,” wrote the justice Datta, quoting the court precedent.
The bench recorded a growing tendency between the dispute to abuse the legal process by suppressing reality and misleading courts.
“The fraud was considered an act of deliberate fraud with the proposal to ensure something by taking advantage of the unfair benefits of another: fraud to gain the loss of another,” wrote justice Datta.
He also stressed that the main fundamental court was that their conduct should not harm the dispute.
If the judgment obtained by fraud caused injustice, the court should not hesitate to intervene and cancel the technical restrictions to restore justice.
The dispute concerned the co -owners of the land in Noida. One of them allegedly received a statement from the High Court in Allahabad in its favor by suppressing key facts and demanding exclusive property ownership. The case subsequently came before the Supreme Court in appeal.
The best court canceled the previous order of the High Court and ordered the matter to be heard again.
