💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a plea seeking the power conferred by Article 142 of the Constitution to be granted to high courts. Article 142 empowers the Supreme Court to pass orders necessary for complete justice in any case or matter pending before it. The court noted that the prayer made in the petition is misconceived as the power conferred under Article 142 is only on the Supreme Court and not the high courts.
