3. Summary:
The Court granted permission for in‑person appearance. The Director of the petitioner‑company, appearing via video conference, sought to press the petition solely on observations made by the High Court in paragraph 22 of the impugned judgment concerning citation of a non‑existent judgment. Although he denied making such a citation, the Court chose not to delve into that issue. As a matter of indulgence, the Court expunged the remarks in the said paragraph. The Court noted that the problem of citing non‑existent judgments is widespread across courts globally and emphasized the need for caution. Consequently, the Special Leave Petition was disposed of, along with any pending applications.

4. Conclusion:
Petition Dismissed
Judgment :-

1. Permission to appear and argue in-person is granted.

2. The Director of Petitioner-Company, who appears in-person through video conference, submitted that he wishes to press the present petition only with reference to certain observations made by the High Court against the petitioner in paragraph no.22 of the impugned judgment. This is regarding giving citation of a non-existent judgment in Court.

3. Though, he tried to explain that he never cited that judgment, however, at the present we are not going into that issue. As a matter of indulgence, we expunge the remarks made in the aforesaid paragraph. However, the fact remains that this menace is rampant in all Courts now, not only in India rather throughout the world. Everyone needs to be careful about this. In fact, this Court is already seized of this matter on judicial side.

4. With the aforesaid observations, the present Special Leave Petition is disposed of.

5. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
