Punjab Urban Planning & Dev. Authority vs M/S Shiv Saraswati Iron & Steel ... on 24 March, 1998
In such context, Mr.
Narichania would be correct in his contention in placing reliance on the
decision in Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority vs. Shiv
Saraswati Iron & Steel Re-Rolling Mills (supra) when he contends that
the position in law is well-settled that the plaintiff must succeed or fail on
his own case and cannot take advantage of weakness in the defendant's
case to get a decree. Such rights would stand independent and would not
depend on the failure of adjudication of defendant's right in defendant's
proceedings.
