Fraud / Misleading the Courts

AIR 2007 SC 1546 Para 21:  Now, it is well settled principle of law that if any judgment or order is obtained by fraud, it cannot be said to be a judgment or order in law. Before three centuries, Chief Justice Edward Coke proclaimed; "Fraud avoids all judicial acts, ecclesiastical or temporal". Para 22:  It is thus settled proposition of law that a judgment, decree or order obtained by playing fraud on the Court, Tribunal or Authority is a nullity and non est in the eye of law.

Limitation principles

The Law of Limitation / Schedule The Limitation Act, 1963 LIMITATIONS The right of a person, if he has any, must be exercised within reasonable time, or else his said right will be forfeited as a penalty for his neglect. Laws come to the assist of the vigilant and not to the sleepy, so said by Salmond in his Jurisprudence. A period of three years has been prescribed for suits relating to accounts, contracts, and declarations; suits relating to decree and instruments; and suits relating to movable properties.
