Jammu, May 07: Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal while dismissing the petition of one Gulshan Kumar, observed that petitioner has not come to this court with clean hands by playing mischief before the Trial Court, wherein, the petitioner was aware that respondent no.5 was a necessary party and yet, deliberately omitted him from the array of respondents and obtained interim direction against him.
Court after hearing further observed that the act of petitioner falls within the realm of playing fraud with the court and such unscrupulous litigants, who play mischief with the court, cannot go scot-free and thus, this court deems it proper to burden the petitioner with costs to the tune of Rs. 20,000 to deprecate such practice of suppression of material facts and playing mischief with the court, which shall be payable by the petitioner to the Advocates’ Welfare Fund within a period of four weeks from today.
