In Court Rooms, the Government should argue like an honest litigant.
Exactly this was the purport of what Supreme Court said in case reported in AIR 1974 Supreme Court page 130.
"But it must be remembered that the State is no ordinary party trying to win a case against one of its own own citizens by hook or by crook."
The Supreme Court went further to say that State should not try to defeat Justice to its own citizens by resorting to technical pleas.
Years and years have rolled by after above judgements. Again and again Supreme Court has reiterated it's hopes that State and it's agencies should not use their mighty powers to defeat it's own weak and poor citizens.
We however continue to see cases where State is arguing technicalities to avoid substantial Justice to litigants.
