¶17

¶18

Petitioner in person has taken this Court to various annexures including pages nos. 32-34 and 46, which are the photographs. Petitioner in person has also pointed out page no. 9 of CM Appl. No. 62626/2020 . Petitioner in person is heavily relying upon the decision rendered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court reported in 2003 (2) SCC page no. 45 and submitted that the parties cannot be stopped by anybody from entering into the Court premises.

¶19

At this stage, petitioner in person made a prayer that he may be provided an advocate by this court so as to place his case properly before us. 4. Counsel appearing for the respondent no.3 submits that the petitioner in person has filed several petitions before this Court and has argued several litigations before this Court, which are as under:

¶20

a) WP(C) No. 11649/2017

¶21

b) WP(C) No. 2865/2018

¶24

W.P.(C) 11898/2019

¶25

It appears that the petitioner in person has also filed several litigations before this Court as stated hereinabove and is well conversant with the procedure of the Court; hence, we see no reason to provide him any advocate to argue the matter on his behalf.

¶26

It appears that in WP(C) No. 11652/2019, this Court has already appointed a Commission, vide order dated 3^rd November, 2019, which is being headed by Hon’ble Mr. Justice S.P. Garg (retired), who is already inquiring into the matter at Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi. Hence, the petitioner can make a representation before the said Commission which is a fact finding commission and he will be heard in accordance with law, rules and regulations by the aforesaid Commission constituted by this Court, especially for Prayer (D), as pointed out hereinabove.

¶27

At this stage, petitioner in person submits that let this writ petition be treated as a representation by the aforesaid Commission. We, therefore, direct the Registry of this Court to send a copy of this writ petition along with annexures thereof to the aforesaid Commission, which shall treat this writ petition as a representation of the petitioner.

¶28

With these observations, this writ petition is disposed of.

¶29

CM No.62626/2020
