In a reported case, Supreme Court observed as under:
"..... Truth constituted an integral part of the Justice delivery system which was in vogue in the pre-Independence era and people used to feel proud to tell truth in the courts irrespective of the consequences. However post-Independence period has seen drastic changes in our value system...
In the last 40 years, a new creed of litigants has cropped up. Those who belong to this creed do not have any respect for truth. They shamelessly resort to falsehood and unethical means for achieving their goals...
(He) who attempts to pollute the stream of justice (by resorting to falsehood) or who touches the pure fountain of justice with tainted hands, is not entitled to any relief, interim or final."
