The SC order, signed by Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan, used the word ‘fraud’ 25 times and explained in detail the sequence of events that led to the remission, aided by a May 2022 order “fraudulently obtained at the hands of this Court” by “suppression and misrepresentation of material facts”.
