Chhote Lal Meena S/o Late Shri Roshan Lal Meena – Appellant 
Versus
Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Law University, Jaipur  - Respondent 
D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No. 647 of 2025 In S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.3221 of 2025
Decided on : 06-06-2025

Advocates:
Advocate Appeared:
For the Appellant : Mr. Pradeep Mathur

A litigant must approach the Court with clean hands; concealment of relevant facts undermines the integrity of judicial proceedings.

Headnote:The Court examined the principles regarding the opacity of legal procedure, particularly emphasizing the need for a litigant to approach the Court with clean hands as defined in cases like Ramjas Foundation and S.P. Chengalvaraya Naidu. The petitioner was deemed to have failed in disclosing previous filings, undermining his plea for re-evaluation, resulting in dismissal of the petition on technical grounds. The petitioner’s conduct raised questions of equity and integrity expected from a litigant. Consequently, the Special Appeal is dismissed without a consideration on merits.

Judgment :

1. The instant D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) is filed by the appellant-petitioner aggrieved and dissatisfied from the order dated 30.05.2025 in S.B Civil Writ Petition No. 3221/2025 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court.

2. Learned counsel for the appellant-petitioner while relying upon grounds of writ appeal submits that the learned Single Judge without considering the matter on merits has dismissed the writ petition only on preliminary objection. He further submits that by dismissal of writ petition, the petitioner has lost a very important right to redress his grievance from this Hon’ble Court. He also submits that this petitioner has also filed a S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.7243/2025 but the cause of action and relief are different in both the petitions. He submitted that learned Single Judge under the impression that S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.7243/2025 and present S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.3221/2023 were filed with identical and similar prayer has dismissed the instant writ petition observing that the petitioner has played game of hide and seek. He also submitted that the last date for filling examination form is today and after late fee it is going upto 11.06.2025. He also submits that if the order of learned Single Judge continued then it would ruin the future of the appellant-petitioner. He also submits that to redress the grievance, the petitioner has a constitutional right to invoke jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India but learned Single Judge has failed to appreciate the facts narrated by the petitioner and rather dismissed the petition on technical ground. At last, he submits that his petition be decided today only.

3. Having considering the submissions of learned counsel for the appellant-petitioner, we are considering this Special Appeal (Writ) on merits at the stage of admission and also for an interim relief.

4. The facts of the case in brief are that a S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.3221/2025 is filed by the petitioner with following prayer:-

5. After notice, respondent No.1 has filed reply raising preliminary objection wherein submitted that in exercise of power under Section 7 read with Section 5 of the Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Law University Jaipur Act, 2019 (hereinafter referred to ‘the Act of 2019’), the University has formulated and issued “Guidelines for re-evaluation and guidelines relating to conduct and evaluation of examination for the program of LLB Degree 3 years (Annual Scheme)”.
