In compliance to earlier order dated 7.7.2026, learned AGA came up with the instructions that one more criminal history case is pending against the applicant but at the time of filing instant application, it is clearly averred in the narration of the paragraph no. 24 of the instant application that applicant has no criminal history except the present case, meaning thereby applicant has not come up with clean hands and as such no interference is required by this Court since in catena of judgments rendered by Hon'ble Apex Court such as in case of S.B.Noronah vs. Union of India reported in AIR Online 1994 SC 124 as well as in case of M/s Tomorrowland Limited vs. Housing and Urban Development Corporation Limited and another reported in [2025] 2 S.C.R 998 wherein it has been held that no indulgence or relief would be granted in favour of any litigant who has not approached to the Court with 'clean hands'. 7. Accordingly, this Court does not find any good ground to invoke its inherent jurisdiction under Section 528 BNSS for quashing the impugned charge-sheet or the consequential criminal proceedings and as such, the present application is hereby dismissed.
