11 Yrs Of Frivolous Litigation: Bombay High Court Reprimands Petitioner In Person, Imposes 1 Lakh Cost
Case: Anand Prabhakar Joshi v. Bank of Maharashtra
Coram: Justice Prithviraj K. Chavan
Case No.: RPS/3/2022
Court Observation: “Since 2009, till date valuable time of this Court had been consumed by the petitioner by filing frivolous litigation”
“In the second review petition, the petitioner has literally reproduced and reiterated almost everything what has been stated by him in the Second Appeal as well as in his first review petition save and except anything to show as to how second review is tenable”
“Such conduct is highly deprecated as the petitioner appears to be incorrigible”
“The petitioner herein had sought second review on the premise that this Court is sitting in an appeal over its first review”
“This is a classic example of abuse of process of Court as well as law, wherein, the petitioner has left no stone unturned to abuse the process not only by preferring second review which is not tenable in law, but also by filing multiple proceedings before different Courts”
“The petitioner had suppressed pendency of Writ Petition in the Supreme Court before this Court and, therefore, he can be said to be guilty of suppressing of material facts, which also amounts to abuse of process of Court as well as of law”
“Such tendencies need to be nipped in the bud by imposing exemplary costs. Such elements cannot be permitted to take the system for a ride by filing unmerited multiple proceedings and to drag the proceedings endlessly”
