That issue being held against them the other issues pleaded in the CP do not arise. The petitioners have approached the Bench with unclean hands and they are not entitled to any equitable reliefs. The attempt of the petitioners to re-agitate the concluded issues is nothing but an abuse of the process of the Court. The company petition is devoid of any merits.
