SUPREME COURT REPORTS 135 Article 136 of the Constitution confers ·a wide dis- z96o cretionary power on this Court to entertain appeals· . 'd d ,. b h Sanwat Singh in suitable cases not oth,erw1se prov1 e ior y t e .,. Othe" Constitution. It is implicit in the reserve power that of natural justice or otherwise, substantial and grave injustice has been done". Though Art. 136 is couched in widest terms, the practice of this Court is not to interfere on questions of fact except iu excep- tional cases when the finding is such that it shocks the conscience of the court.
