Collusion [fr. collusio, Lat., fr. colludo, to unite in the same play or game, and thus to unite for the purposes of fraud or deception], an agreement or compact between two or more persons to do some act in order to prejudice a third person, or for some improper purpose. Collusion in judicial proceedings is a secret agreement between two persons that the one should institute a suit against the other, in order to obtain the decision of a judicial tribunal for some sinister purpose, and appears to be of two kinds: (1) When the facts put forward as the foundation of the sentence of the Court do not exist; (2) When they exist, but have been corruptly preconcerted for the express purpose of obtaining the sentence. In either case the judgment obtained by such collusion is a nullity. See Duchess of Kingston's case, (1776) 2 Sm. L.C.

Certify, The word 'certify' in the Article 134 (1) (C) of the Constitution of India has a clear meaning. It requires that when giving the leave to appeal, the High Court must first determine the issue of law which in its opinion is needed to be settled by the Supreme Court and such question must be clearly set out in its order. It is well-established that mere grant of certificate by the High Court does not prevent this Court from determining whether it was rightly granted and whether the conditions prerequisite for the grant of certificates are satisfied, T.B. Thakore v. State of Maharashtra, (1969) 3 SCC 369 (371). [Constitution of India, Art. 134 (1) (c)]The word 'certify' used in clause (c) of article 133(1) suggests that the High Court is expected to apply its mind before certifying the case to be fit for appeal.
