Hiding Fields Using Create Script in Sage CRM

We all are aware that we can hide a field using Client side API or Javascript and Jquery. But what if we want to avoid scripting language and do this using standard code and standard functionality of SAGE CRM. On doing some investigation we came across a code wherein we can hide the field by writing a code inside create script of Sage CRM.
