Delhi HC Refuses To Waive Costs Imposed On Officer Of Rajya Sabha Secretariat For Filing Frivolous Appeals [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court has refused to waive the costs of Rs. 50,000 which it had imposed on the officer of the Rajya Sabha Secretariat for wasting "judicial time of three courts" by filing frivolous appeals.The Secretariat had to face the Court's ire in August this year for harassing an ex-employee for a paltry sum of Rs. 50,000 which it had imposed on the officer of the Rajya Sabha Secretariat for wasting "judicial time of three courts" by filing frivolous appeals. It ruled, "In my opinion the issue as addressed on behalf of the appellant, and also so opined by the Attorney General, can be resolved by this Court observing that the concerned officer who will be liable to pay costs in terms of the judgment dated 3.8.2017 will be the highest officer under whose signatures final decision was taken to file the second appeal. After all an officer cannot say that he will not at all apply his mind and he can simply direct filing of an appeal just and merely because an Advocate has stated that the appeal should be filed, more so considering that the appeal was a Regular Second Appeal requiring existence of a substantial question of law under Section 100 CPC with the fact that the suit filed by the appellant/defendant was only for Rs.39,010/- and which suit was dismissed by both the courts below thereby showing that there was no merits in the same."
