This research paper attempts to focus on the ?Extraordinary Powers? of the Supreme Court.How it was being used to help the deceased person in those cases where the present existing statutory provisions were inefficient to tackle it but there were several instances in which the court misutilised its power conferred by Article 142 and hence a need for the restraint of this judicial power was felt.This research paper also attempts to give some suggestive measures so as to maintain the balance between the powers conferred to the court by virtue of Article 142 and present existing statutory laws.Various recent case laws pertinent to the topic has also been referred and discussed in detail for better understanding of the main objective of the paper.
