Section 151 of CPC : Section 151: Saving Of Inherent Powers Of Court

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a civil lawsuit is ongoing, and important evidence is at risk of being destroyed by one of the parties involved. The laws laid out in the Code of Civil Procedure do not explicitly provide a remedy to prevent this destruction. In this scenario, the judge can invoke Section 151 and use their inherent powers to issue an order to protect the evidence. This order would ensure that justice is served by preserving the evidence, even though there is no specific provision in the Code addressing this circumstance.
