Case: T.C. Gupta v. Union of India

Coram: Justice Sandeep Mehta and Justice Vinod Kumar Bharwani

Case No.: D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 10645/2019

Court Observation: “Thus, the finding of the learned Tribunal that the petitioner, who has been enrolled as an Advocate post retirement from the Income Tax Department, has acted as de facto party in Judicial proceedings cannot be faulted. The Tribunal also noticed interpolations in the documents filed on record by the petitioner who personally verified the pleadings. Hence, the learned Tribunal was perfectly justified in imposing cost quantified at Rs.1,00,000/- upon the petitioner for such apparent misconduct.”
