🧑⚖️ Case Law:
Kusheshwar Prasad Singh v. State of Bihar & Ors.,
Civil Appeal No. 7351 of 2000, Hon’ble Supreme Court of India
📌 Key Principle:
> "A wrongdoer ought not to be permitted to make a profit out of his own wrong."
⚖️ Legal Insight:
The Hon’ble Supreme Court reaffirmed a well-settled principle of equity and justice — that no person should be allowed to benefit from his own wrongdoing.
In this case, it was emphasized that:
One cannot take undue and unfair advantage of his own unlawful act.
If someone prevents a legal act from being completed, they cannot later claim benefit from its non-performance.
Courts will not assist a party who derives advantage by obstructing justice or violating legal duties.
🔍 Application:
This doctrine is often invoked in:
Contract law: A party who breaches the contract cannot rely on consequences of their own breach.
Property law: A tenant who wrongfully holds possession can’t claim protection under tenancy rights.
Matrimonial law: A spouse who refuses to cohabit cannot claim relief based on lack of consummation.
✅ Takeaway:
The law does not help those who act in bad faith. Equity demands clean hands.
