Though the Bhishma Pithamaha had claimed that the money in the noticee's account was his own, the Court was unable to find any confirmed right proving the same. The Court reiterated that it has the right to refuse exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 if 'the petitioner has not come with clean hands', and equity is not in favour of the petitioner.</strong></td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Article 226 Constitution of India, 1950 nActCompID=44163</strong></td>  </tr>   <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : Tax, article 226, notice</strong></td>  </tr> <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>  <tr>      <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td>  </tr> <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>   </table> </div> </body> </html>
