Strict action against persons who file false cases!

Member of Parliament SHRI GOPAL CHINNAYA SHETTY on 22nd July, 2022 got reply from the concerned Ministry about his question regarding “action against false cases”.

The Questions were as follows:

“Will the Minister of LAW AND JUSTICE be pleased to state:
(a) whether the Government proposes to take strict action against persons who file
false cases such as recovery of entire legal expenses, doubling of the amount/
imprisonment in case of repetition of offence, etc. so as to bring transparency in the
judicial system of the country;
(b) if so, the details thereof;
(c) whether the Government proposes to bring in provision of jail or imprisonment in
case of failure to pay the penalty by such persons; and
(d) whether the Government has taken any steps to ensure that the persons filing cases
should furnish full details of their expenses and if so, the details thereof?”

In response to the above questions, it was replied that, “Legal and Constitutional remedies are guaranteed under the provisions of the Constitution. Approaching courts for redressal is a right of all citizens and especially the marginalised, who are fighting to get justice.” Further, “Since Hon‟ble Supreme Court and High Courts have been issuing guidelines from time to time to put a check on the false and frivolous litigation, no further actions at the level of the Central Government is contemplated at this stage.”
