The High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by a businessman Mohammed Yahiya Qureshi claiming rights over nearly 30 acres of land in prime area of Shamshabad, on Hyderabad outskirts, on Thursday.
A Bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar, pronouncing the verdict, observed that the petitioner “in this case has not approached the court with clean hands.”
“It is trite law that a person invoking the extraordinary discretionary jurisdiction of the High Court must approach this court with clean hands,” the verdict said.
