Executive Committee Of Vaish Degree ... vs Lakshmi Narain And Ors on 12 December, 1975
It is a settled law that the relief of Declaration is a discretionary
relief and the court exercises in discretion of that party which approaches the
court with clean hands. Equity does not demand that its suitors shall have led
blameless lives. The maxim withholds assistance of Court where the
wrongdoer is trying to enjoy the fruits of his own wrong. It is a selfÂimposed
ordinance that closes the door of a Court of equity to one tainted with
inequitableness or bad faith relative to the matter in which he seeks relief. A
party who seeks equity must bring on record the entire facts of his case
supported by documentary proof. It has been held in the case of Executive
Committee of Vaish Degree College, Shamli Vs. Lakshmi Narain reported
in AIR 1976 SC 888 that the relief of Declaration and Injunction under the
provisions of the Specific Relief Act is purely discretionary and the plaintiff
cannot claim it as right.
