Excise Commissioner, the nature and scope of this power came up for consideration before the Supreme Court It was held that the power, though wide, did not enable the Court to make an order plainly inconsistent with any Constitutional provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/27098883\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Union Carbide Corporation v. Union of India<\/a><\/em> the Supreme Court held that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">\u201cThe power under&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;is at an entirely different level and of a different quality. The prohibitions or limitations or provisions contained in ordinary laws cannot&nbsp;<em>ipso facto<\/em>&nbsp;act as prohibitions or limitations on the Constitutional powers under&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>. Such prohibitions or limitations in the statute might embody and reflect the scheme of a particular law taking into account the nature and status of the authority or the Court on which conferment of powers \u2014 limited in some appropriate way \u2014 is contemplated. The limitations may not necessarily reflect or be based on any fundamental considerations of public policy. .. .. .. .. ..It will again be wholly incorrect to say that the powers under&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;are subject to such express statutory prohibitions that would convey the idea that statutory provisions override a Constitutional provision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Supreme Court in&nbsp;the case of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/1031794\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visakha v. State of Rajasthan<\/a><\/em> excersing <strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;formed the law of the land in the absence of any substantive law covering the issue of sexual harassment at workplace and such directions filled the vacuum till the Legislature enacted a substantive law. In a later decision in&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/20050778\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">State of Karnataka v. State of Andhra Pradesh<\/a><\/em> (2000) 9 SCC 572, the Supreme Court held that&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;conferred wide powers on the Supreme Court to do complete justice between the parties and the Court can pass any order or issue any direction that may be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/1666530\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Supreme Court Bar Association v. Union of India<\/a><\/em>, Supreme Court, observed that, \u201cit is well-recognized and established that this Court has always been a law-maker.\u201d This implies the law making power of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Section 13 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/marriage-resulting-from-religious-conversion-to-islam-for-taking-a-second-wife-is-void-when-his-first-marriage-is-still-in-existence-under-the-hindu-marriage-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hindu Marriage Act<\/a> lays down the grounds to obtain a decree of divorce, but irretrievable breakdown of marriage is not one of the grounds. In&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/748286\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romesh Chander v. Savithri<\/a><\/em> the issue that came up for consideration before the Supreme Court was whether a marriage which is otherwise dead emotionally and practically be allowed to continue for name sake. <a href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/supreme-court-allowed-cbi-to-investigate-by-exercising-its-extraordinary-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Supreme Court, in the exercise of powers <\/a>under&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;of the Indian Constitution, directed that the marriage between the appellant and the respondent shall stand dissolved as the marriage was practically dead. This decision has been followed by the Supreme Court in several decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It is a settled law that the <a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/1430929\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Supreme Court grants<\/a> a decree of divorce only in those situations in which the Court is convinced beyond any doubt that there is absolutely no chance of the marriage surviving and it is broken beyond repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It is however, pertinent to note that the power conferred upon the Supreme Court under&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;of the Indian Constitution is confided to the Supreme Court and the High Courts and Tribunals have no right to exercise this power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/1353689\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AR Antulay v RS Nayak<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/elibrary.slsh.edu.in:2070\/document\/?pdmfid=1523890&amp;crid=2db7799d-ca27-4fe9-9428-53060c3b862b&amp;pddocfullpath=%2Fshared%2Fdocument%2Fanalytical-materials-in%2Furn%3AcontentItem%3A5WG9-M171-F27X-60FC-00000-00&amp;pdcontentcomponentid=504718&amp;pdteaserkey=sr0&amp;pditab=allpods&amp;ecomp=cz2xk&amp;earg=sr0&amp;prid=40720fab-a106-441c-95af-05640572da70#\">,<\/a>&nbsp;the Supreme Court has observed in relation to&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u2026 however wide and plenary the language of the article, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/supreme-court-directs-bihar-government-to-release-prisoners-with-mental-illnesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">directions given by the Court <\/a>should not be inconsistent with, repugnant to, or in violation of the specific provisions of any statute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preconditions_to_Article_142\"><\/span>Preconditions to Article 142 <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/28770\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Supreme Court<\/a>\u2019s powers under&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elibrary.slsh.edu.in:2070\/document\/?pdmfid=1523890&amp;crid=14d07c95-982e-411f-8441-d115f6543395&amp;pddocfullpath=%2Fshared%2Fdocument%2Fanalytical-materials-in%2Furn%3AcontentItem%3A5XN5-8CX1-DYMS-62KK-00000-00&amp;pdcontentcomponentid=505186&amp;pdteaserkey=sr5&amp;pditab=allpods&amp;ecomp=cz2xk&amp;earg=sr5&amp;prid=40720fab-a106-441c-95af-05640572da70#\"><strong>Article 142<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;are vastly broad based.

But the power should not be exercised frequently, but sparingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Under&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/legislative.gov.in\/sites\/default\/files\/A1946-25.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">section 25 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946, <\/a>Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) cannot investigate a cognizable offence committed within a State without the consent of the concerned State Government. But the Supreme Court has ruled that it can under&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;(1) direct CBI to investigate such an offence within a State without the consent of the concerned State Government. The court has asserted that the exercise of its power under&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;(1) is not conditioned by any statutory power, because statutory provisions cannot override constitutional provisions.&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;(1) being a constitutional power cannot be limited or conditioned by any statutory provision. The court has explained the scope of&nbsp;<strong>Article 142<\/strong>&nbsp;in the following words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Note\"><\/span>Note<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/indiankanoon.org\/doc\/1857940\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UOI v M.
