The doors of the courts are not ajar but closed to “Rip Van Winkles” like former MLA Anil H. Lad, who has not only knocked on the court’s doors after nine long years of delay but with “misleading” claims, said the High Court of Karnataka.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna made these observations while dismissing a petition filed in 2024 by Mr. Lad, who is also a former member of the Rajya Sabha.
Mr. Lad had questioned the legality of an order passed by the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) in 2015 confirming the certificate of sale of a property, which was provided as guarantee to a bank for the loan given in 2008 to one of his companies, M/s V.S. Lad and Sons.
