The learned Assistant Government Pleader has produced a report of the Collector in the court today. The report states that the applicant has two agricultural properties at mouja Jamthi and Mouja Narayanpur. The copy of the 7/12 extract is annexed to this report. The respondent no1. has also filed a reply to the civil application and has pointed out that the applicant has agricultural land at village Jamthi and from the latest copy of 7/12 extract of 2009-2010 it is apparent that the applicant has taken yield of cotton, soyabin, toor from the agricultural land. The learned counsel for the applicant then submits that there is some litigation, pending in regard to these agricultural properties and hence the applicant is not in a position to pay 2 the court fee. The statement made on behalf of the applicant cannot be accepted at this stage, as the applicant has stated in the civil application that he is indigent person. The applicant has not disclosed in the application that he is the owner of the two agricultural properties at Jamthi and Narayanpur and the litigation in that regard is pending. It appears that the applicant has not approached this court with clean hands. In view of the report of the Collector, and the reply filed by the respondent no.1, the civil application is rejected. Four weeks time is granted for payment of court fees. JUDGE SMP.
