The Bombay High Court- Vijay Enterprises vs Gopinath MahadeKoli and Ors.

The Bombay High Court too noted the menace of perjury being committed rampantly in courts. Judgment in the case of Vijay Enterprises vs Gopinath MahadeKoli and Ors.,in which it held 'Now the time has come when the litigants are utilizing the fabricated documents rampantly. Now the time has also come where people are making statements on oath and in court proceedings which are blatantly false to their own knowledge. Now a days parties are using false documents with a view to achieve orders which they desire to obtain. It is needless to state that justice delivery system has to be pure. And should be such that the persons who are approaching the Courts and filing the proceedings must be afraid of using fabricated documents. And also of making false statements on oath. We are a Court of Law sitting here to ascertain the truth and give justice in accordance with the law. To establish truth. And not to be misled by the advocates and the parties in the various directions. So as to make it almost impossible to give effective and truthful justice to the litigants at large. And, in my opinion keeping in mind the aforesaid position it is high time. High time that where the people have blatantly used the fabricated document for the purpose of achieving the desired result even by misleading the Court and/or by making false statement and by using fabricated documents cannot escape the penalties.'
