Delhi Court Rejects Appeal for Medical Exemption from Appearance
A man named Himmat Singh asked the court to let him skip appearing in person because of medical reasons.
The court said no because he didn't give good enough proof and had been avoiding the court's orders.
The court also said that just because people have access to justice doesn't mean they can misuse the system.
The court made him pay a fine of Rs 25,000 for making a frivolous appeal.
The Delhi court rejected Himmat Singh's appeal for exemption from personal appearance on medical grounds.
The court found that Singh failed to provide credible material for medical exemption.
Singh's conduct indicated a conscious attempt to evade the process of law.
The court ordered Singh to deposit a cost of Rs 25,000 for filing a frivolous appeal.
The court emphasized that liberal access to justice cannot be misconstrued as a licence for procedural abuse.
