Court fines litigants Rs 75k for frivolous delays to 18-year dispute

The Delhi High Court has fined two siblings Rs 75,000 after litigating against each for 18 years over property. The court said: “Keeping in view the conduct of the petitioners that they still do not want the suit instituted about 18 years ago to reach its ultimate destination, they must be made to pay heavy costs for filing frivolous and bogus applications,' the court said according to the Indo-Asian News Service agency. The court also added that the trial has only wasted the precious time of the court. “No mercy should be shown to such type of litigants who have no other work but just to waste the time of different courts and create obstruction in the smooth functioning of the judicial system.”
