In a groundbreaking judgment, the Supreme Court of India recently reaffirmed the fundamental legal principle that any judgment obtained through fraud is a nullity, coining the doctrine: "fraud unravels everything." Emphasizing judicial integrity, the Court held that such fraudulent orders or judgments—whether from lower courts or even from the Supreme Court itself—can be challenged at any stage, including collateral proceedings.

This ruling came while setting aside its own previous judgment in the case of Reddy Veerana v. State of U.P. (2022), where fraudulent manipulation of judicial processes resulted in unjust enrichment by excluding rightful co-owners from compensation. Significantly, the Supreme Court clarified that the "doctrine of merger," which typically prevents revisiting final orders, does not protect judgments obtained through fraud.

This decision strengthens legal transparency and ensures that justice is never compromised by deceitful practices, offering vital insights into the implications of judicial fraud, procedural fairness, and the doctrine of merger in Indian law.
