2016 (1) TMI 1358 - SUPREME COURTFiling of false affidavits - imposition of costs - whether the High Court was correct in imposing costs of ₹ 10 lakhs on the petitioner for filing a false or misleading affidavit in this Court? Held that: - In Muthu Karuppan v. Parithi Ilamvazhuthi [2011 (4) TMI 1481 - SUPREME COURT] this Court expressed the view that the filing of a false affidavit should be effectively curbed with a strong hand. It is true that the observation was made in the context of contempt of Court proceedings, but the view expressed must be generally endorsed to preserve the purity of judicial proceedings. The imposition of costs by the High Court was justified - petition dismissed - decided against petitioner.
