Whether Family Court has Power to invoke Inherent Powers under Section 151 CPC [JUDGMENT]

Civil P.C. 1908 - S.151 -  Every procedure is to be understood as permissible till it is shown to be prohibited by law. Every court must be deemed to possess all such powers as may be necessary to do the right and to undo the wrong. Section 151 of the Code does not give the court any new power. It merely declares that the court has inherent power to make such orders as may be necessary for the ends of justice or to prevent abuse of the process of the court. Inherent power can be exercised to do real and substantial justice. (Para.11)
