Chaman Lal Verma vs Union Of India & Ors on 3 November, 2014
9. It is a settle law that one must approach the court with clean
hands. During the course of the arguments, counsel for the defendants no.2
and 3 pleaded that the plaintiff preferred an appeal against the order dated
2/5 Chaman Lal Verma vs. Union of India
22.05.2014 before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court as the advance copy of the
same was supplied to him. But, he is not aware about the fate of the same.
In reply, counsel for the plaintiff admitted that the plaintiff filed the appeal
before the Registry, Hon'ble Delhi High Court in July, 2014, but did not
pursue the same and it remained at that level only. The plaintiff has not
disclosed the said material fact in the present application. This fact also
belies the plea of the plaintiff that he could not file the application in time
due to his illness as well as illness of his wife. As such, the plaintiff has not
approached the court with clean hands.
