…law courts exist for the society and in the event of there being a question posed in the matter of interpretation of a beneficial piece of legislation, question of interpreting the same with a narrow pedantic approach would not be justified. (SECRETARY, H.S.E.B.Vs.SURESH & ORS ETC. ETC. DATE OF JUDGMENT:04/04/1999 )
…It is to be seen that the procedure is the hand-maid for Justice; and unless the procedure touches upon jurisdictional issue, it should be moulded to subserve substantial justice. Therefore, technicalities would not stand in the way to subserve substantive justice. (AIR 1994 S C 1699 Ramankutty Guptan v. Avara)
….The High Courts exercise control over Government functioning and ensure obedience of rules and law by enforcing PROPER, FAIR and just performance of duty. Where the Government or any authority passes an order which is contrary to rules or law it becomes amenable to correction by the courts in exercise of writ jurisdiction.
. It shakes the confidence and faith of the society in the system and is prone to encouraging even the honest and sincere to deviate from their path. It is the responsibility of the High Court as custodian of the Constitution to maintain the social balance by interfering where necessary for sake of justice and refusing to interfere where it is against the social interest and public good.
(STATE OF MAHARASHTRA Vs. PRABHU 1994 SCC (2) 481 )
.. It is time that the derelicts are also held ACCOUNTABLE and liable for the loss of public money due to their lapses.
Governments being the largest litigants, radical improvement is needed in the functioning of their machinery by reducing frivolous litigation and ensuring PROPER conduct of the necessary litigation. Unless the desirable steps in this behalf are taken in the RIGHT earnest, any number of seminars and conferences to device means for reducing the backlog in Courts is an exercise in futility and the resolutions made therein, are empty slogans.

The Court cannot be blind to the fact that even after fifty years of our independence our territorial integrity is not fully secure. Administrative Liquidation was certainly not a course open to them.( People’s Union for Civil Liberties vs Union of India and Another* *(1997) 3 SCC 433) )
That the petitioner was subjected to wholly unwarranted humiliation and indignity which cannot be done to any citizen of lndia irrespective of whether he was accused of minor offence or major offence… The duty to impose a restraint should not be utilised as an opportunity for exposing an under trial prisoner to public ridicule and humiliation.
Life, liberty of a citizen guaranteed under Art. 21 include life with dignity and liberty with dignity. LIBERTY MUST mean freedom from humiliations and indignities at the hands of the authorities to whom the custody of a person may pass temporarily or otherwise under the law of the land
(Ravikant Patil vs The State of Maharashtra & others *1991 Cr.L.J. 2344 (Bombay))
On an allegation that the petitioners have been indulging in anti-social activities without mentioning the PERIOD during which those activities took place no person can reasonably put up a defence. If the activities had happened 10 years ago, he could easily persuade the authorities to the effect that there has been a lull in those activities on his part and no order of externment is called for. We are also of the opinion that the allegations of beating people, causing loss to the people’s PROPERties are somewhat vague. Such order of externmemt is illegal and liable to be set aside.
(Prakash Sitaram Shelar, vs The State of Maharashtra & others* 1991 Cr.LJ. 1251 (Bombay))
NATURAL JUSTICE requires that the person affected should have notice of the relevant material on which the authority concerned bases its conclusion. (Sh. Rambhai alias Ramlo Khimchand . .vs The State of Gujarat & anothers* *1991 Cr.L.J. 3159 (Gujrat) )
Even in the life of the criminal or habitual offender, time may come where he starts living a peaceful life. When according to POLICE reports, at a later stage the petitioner has confined his activity to his profession of goldsmith and the report further indicated that except that profession he did not take interest in any other activity. Therefore, the POLICE surveillance in the case of the petitioner has seriously encroached upon the privacy of the petitioner, and his fundamental RIGHT of the personal Iiberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution and the freedom of the movement guaranteed by Article 19(1) (d). (Moti Sunar alias Moti Lal vs State of U.P.& others. . *1997 Cr.L.J; 2260 (Allahabad) )
In both the situations, some inquiry is necessary to ascertain whether the report submitted by. the Station Officer required opening of History Sheet or not. It is not enough to put a BLANKET-SEAL on the report of the Station Officer. (Sunil Kumar Vs Superintendent of POLICE, Ballia and others * *1997 Cr.L.J. 3201 (Allahabad))
Thus where discrimination was played by POLICE authorities in permitting the respondent-association to take its religious procession through a prominent centre in the town while restricting the petitioner-association from doing the same on the ground that it would lead to law and order problem; the said action of the POLICE authorities would be imPROPER. Both the associations are entitled-to take their processions through that prominent center and it - is the DUTY of the POLICE Authorities to tackle with the law and order problem (Gehohe-E-Miran Shah vs The Secretary, Home Department,.Govt. of A.P. and others *1993 Cr.L.J. 406 (AP.))

The Supreme Court on handcuffing of prisoners issued the following directions:
We declare, direct and lay down as a rule that handcuffs or other fetters shall not be forced on a prisoner - convicted or undertrial - while lodged in a jail anywhere in the country or while transporting or in transit from one jail to another or from jail to Court and back. The POLICE and the jail authorities, on their own shall have NO AUTHORITY to direct the handcuffing of any inmate of a jail in the country or during transport from one jail to another or from jail to Court and back… Any violation of any of the directions issued by us by any rank of POLICE in the country or member of the jail establishment shall be summarily punishable under the CONTEMPT of Courts Act apart from other penal consequences under law.
(In re: M.P. Dwivedi and others* *1996 Cr.L.J. 1670 )
…The Arrestee may be permitted to meet his lawyer during interrogation, though not throughout the interrogation…. render him liable to be punished for CONTEMPT of court and the proceedings for CONTEMPT of court may be instituted in any, High Court of the country, having territorial jurisdiction over the matter. "The courts have the obligation to satisfy the
social aspirations of the citizens because the courts and the law are for the people and expected to respond to their aspirations. A court of law cannot
close its consciousness and aliveness to stark realities. Mere punishment of the offender cannot give much solace to the family of the victim civil action for damages is a long drawn and a cumbersome judicial process. Monetary compensation for redressal by the court finding the infringement of the indefeasible right to life of the citizen is, therefore, useful and at time perhaps the only effective remedy to apply balm to the wounds of the family members of the deceased victim, who may have been the breadwinner of the family.
