The Ld. Adv. for plaintiff requesting time to file the copy of

Matter adjd to 16/10/2020 for citation/Order on Ad-interim
relief.
Next Purpose: CIATATION
Next Hearing Date: 16-10-2020

Date: 16-10-2020
Business: Adv. Kulkarni for Plaintiff present and filed citation. Taken on record.
Adv. Khandagale for Defendant/MCGM present.
Heard both sides on citation plaintiff has filed 7 citations. I have gone through all citations. With due respect the facts are not similar to the case in hand.
Advocate Khandagale hence relied on  Shri Jagan Nath vs Dda dtd. on 25 May, 2019. This is Judgment given by District Court Delhi. Ld. Judge observed in para 18. Even in case titled as Thomas Cook (India) Ld. V Hotel Imperial and Others 127 (2006)DLT 431, the Honble Delhi High Court  observed in para 15, as under 15. In our view injunction is an equitable relief and the Court must see whether a person who is a trespasser can seek the helping hand of the Court for protecting his unlawful possession as against the owner. A person who seeks equity must do equity. He must also come to Court with clean hands. When he does these things there will be no occasion for him to seek an injunction in as much as the trespass would have automatically stood vacated. If he does not do these things, he cannot at the same time ask for the helping hand of the Court to protect his illegal possession.
Thus, the injunction is an equitable relief where plaintiff should com with clean hands. The ratio is applicable to the case in hand.
1. Perused plaint alongwith documents filed by plaintiff. Perused Notice of Motion. Perused affidavit cum reply filed by the defendant corporation.
2. Heard, learned Adv. Mr.Kulkarni for the plaintiff and Adv.Mr. Khandagale for defendant corporation at considerable length.
3. It is submitted by plaintiff that, he has received the suit premises from the corporation in the year of 2014, being permanent alternative accommodation in lieu of original premises allotted by the Municipal Corporation. The cause of action arises due to notice Under Section 314 of MMC Act, 1988.  He is in possession of suit premises as per allotment letter dated Nil and possession receipt at Exhibit B and C respectively. In support of his claim he has filed Electricity Bill, Election Voters I.D. Card, Adhar Card, Copy of Co-operative Society notice etc.
4. Per contra the defendant corporation has filed numerous documents out of which as per defendant corporation the documents i.e. letter from A.O. Estate ME to Asstt. Commissioner FN, transpires the bogus document filed by the plaintiff on record. The verification report regarding the authenticity of allotment letter and possession receipt shows these are bogus documents. Corporation also seeking help from police to evict the plaintiffs encroachment as well as  demolition order is also filed.
5. It is settled law, the person who seeks equity, shall stand on his own legs. Plaintiff came with a case of settle possession in the capacity of PAP holders under the BMC policy of alternative accommodation.
6. Prima facia, there is no authentic documents filed on record to show that his name is listed in Annexure – II, declared by the BMC under provision of BMC policy. It is also noted that, the verification report filed alongwith affidavit by the BMC, transpires that, allotment letter and possession receipts are sham and bogus. Accordingly, the police action also initiated against the plaintiff from lawful eviction in such circumstances if he has not authorized PAP holder under Corporation policy.
7. After hearing both the sides. I am of the opinion that, plaintiff has not come with clean hands. He is not authorized PAP holder within the policy of Corporation for alternative accommodation. Accordingly, the plaintiff is not entitled for ad-interim relief. Prima facia it seems that the BMC has followed due process of law.  Hence, I passed following order
Order on ad-interim reliefs
ORDER
1. Ad-interim prayer is rejected being devoid of merits.
2. The BMC shall not take any coercive action against suit structure                           for next three weeks from today in order to file appeal before 	Honble High Court.
3. The protection period will not be extended further more.
Authenticated copies be given to the both parties.
