DATE : 24TH JUNE, 2010. ORAL JUDGMENT { PER B.R. GAVAI, J.] : 1] Jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is extraordinary and equitable jurisdiction. The petitioner who comes to this court, is expected to approach this court with clean hands. 2] The present petitioner appears to be in the habit of filing petitions after petitions. This the present petition was filed by the petitioner and though it was admitted, with respect to almost similar challenges, the petitioner filed another writ petition bearing W.P No. 923/2009. The said petition has been decided by this court on merits vide judgment and order dated 18th December, 2009. While dismissing that petition, this court also noticed the conduct of the present petitioner and particularly in regard to suppression about filing of the present petition and saddled cost of Rs.1,000/-. One another petition bearing W.P. No. 2346/2001 was dismissed in default. 3] The conduct of the petitioner in filing several petitions with respect to the same cause of action and that too, without disclosing the pendency of the present petition in the latter petitions, in our view, does not entitle him to any equitable relief. We are, therefore, inclined to reject the petition on the ground of misconduct. Petition is, therefore, dismissed. Rule is discharged. [S.V. GANGAPURWALA,J.] [B.R. GAVAI,J.] grt/-
