What’s inside:
The Patna High Court has ordered Madhumesh Chaudhary to pay a fine for misusing court time with an unnecessary petition.
Recently, the Patna High Court made a decision regarding a case involving Madhumesh Chaudhary from Chaudhary Market, Ashok Rajpath. He filed a petition that the court found unnecessary, leading to a fine being imposed on him.
The single bench, led by Justice Shailendra Singh, canceled Madhumesh’s civil review petition and ordered him to pay Rs 10,000 as compensation. He has four weeks to deposit this amount with the Patna High Court Legal Services Committee.
This situation arose from a previous case where the court had stopped the alleged fraudulent sale of a bungalow belonging to Dr. TN Banerjee. The stay order was issued on February 27, 2025, but Madhumesh tried to overturn it with his petition, which was rejected.
Dr. Banerjee’s daughters had appealed to the court to protect their ancestral property from being sold based on fake documents. They argued that Madhumesh and others were trying to illegally sell the bungalow, which is a significant property in Patna.
In court, the advocates representing Dr. Banerjee’s daughters pointed out the misuse of the legal system by Madhumesh. They highlighted that there were no valid grounds for his petition, and such frivolous cases waste the court’s time.
Summary:
- Madhumesh Chaudhary fined Rs 10,000 for filing an unnecessary petition.
- The Patna High Court canceled his review petition.
- Dr. TN Banerjee’s bungalow was at the center of the case.
- The court had previously issued a stay on the bungalow’s sale.
- Advocates argued against Madhumesh’s claims, stating they were baseless.
