Case: Shri K Jayaram & Ors vs Bangalore Development Authority
Coram: Justice Abdul Nazeer and Justice Krishna Murari
Case No: Civil Appeal No(S). 7550-7553 Of 2021
Court Observation: “They have not come to the court with clean hands and they have also abused the process of law. Therefore, they are not entitled for the extraordinary, equitable and discretionary relief”
“…in order to check multiplicity of proceedings pertaining to the same subject-matter and more importantly to stop the menace of soliciting inconsistent orders through different judicial forums by suppressing material facts either by remaining silent or by making misleading statements in the pleadings in order to escape the liability of making a false statement, we are of the view that the parties have to disclose the details of all legal proceedings and litigations either past or present concerning any part of the subject-matter of dispute which is within their knowledge”
