Slamming a Rajasthan based medical institute for "Bench Hunting", the Principal Bench of Rajasthan High Court at Jodhpur recently upheld the Singe Judge bench order directing the institute to pay a heavy cost of Rs 10 lakh.
Therefore, denying to reduce the amount of cost, the HC bench comprising of Acting Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice Vinod Kumar Bharwani observed, "Though, learned counsel for the appellant prayed that in the alternative the cost amount may be reduced, having upheld the order of the learned Single Judge on merits and the manner in which the appellant sought to abuse the process of law, it being an Institution and not a poor person belonging to marginalized section of the society, even in the matter of imposition of cost, we find no ground to interfere."
