Section 151 of CPC : Section 151: Saving of inherent powers of Court.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Scenario: A plaintiff files a lawsuit against a defendant for breach of contract. During the trial, it becomes evident that the defendant has been tampering with evidence to mislead the court.

Application of Section 151: The judge, using the inherent powers granted by Section 151, orders an independent forensic examination of the evidence to ensure that justice is served and to prevent the abuse of the court's process.

Example 2:

Scenario: A tenant files a suit against a landlord for illegal eviction. The landlord, in retaliation, files multiple frivolous lawsuits against the tenant to harass them and drain their resources.

Application of Section 151: The court, recognizing the landlord's actions as an abuse of the judicial process, uses its inherent powers under Section 151 to dismiss the frivolous lawsuits and impose a fine on the landlord to deter such behavior in the future.
