Dispute with landlord: Ferozepur tenant fined ₹1 lakh for concealment of facts

Hindustan Times  

The Punjab and Haryana high court has imposed a fine of ₹1 lakh on a Ferozepur shopkeeper, who in eviction proceedings with his landlord had “concealed some vital facts” about the case from the court. While imposing the fine, the court further directed that in case the costs are not deposited, the member secretary would take up the matter with the Ferozepur deputy commissioner for recovery of the amount as arrears of land revenue and after recovery of the same, a compliance report would be submitted to the court. “On account of the petitioner having approached this court with unclean hands and on account of his having suppressed vital facts from this court, exemplary costs of ₹1 lakh are imposed upon the petitioner, which shall be deposited by the petitioner in the High Court Legal Services Committee within a period of four weeks,” the bench of justice Vikram Aggarwal said dismissing a plea from the shopkeeper, Sukhdev Singh. The court found that the fact regarding the appeal filed in apex court was neither disclosed in the high court nor before the trial court but the same issues were raised in that plea filed in Supreme Court which was “unconditionally withdrawn.” The court observed that it was clear that shopkeeper has concealed this very important fact from the court and initially succeeded in getting an interim order.
