Renu, Advocate for Petitioners. Mr. S.S. Doifode, APP for Respondents .......... CORAM : K.J. ROHEE &, B.P.DHARMADHIKARI, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 4, 2008 1. Heard Mr. R.S. Renu, Advocate for the petitioners. He prays for permission to file written notes of argument. We do not find it necessary to permit him to do so. Hence the prayer is rejected. 2. We have also heard the learned APP for the respondents. 3. It has been brought to our notice that the petitioner has challenged a notice issued to him by the authorities concerned imposing penalty on him for illegal excavation of sand. This was 2 before the filing of the present writ petition. However, this fact is not disclosed by the petitioners in the present writ petition. The learned counsel for the petitioners could not explain as to why this fact is not disclosed in the present petition. It is thus apparent that the petitioners have not come before this Court with clean hands. Their bona fides in preferring this petition are also doubtful. Hence we are not inclined to entertain the present petition. The same is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE halwai
