2017 (10) TMI 565 - DELHI HIGH COURTDisciplinary proceedings instituted against petitioners Chartered accountants - Eligibility of subsequent action - Held that:- Merely because the petitioners have now acquired further information pursuant to their request under the RTI - which, at best, provides them with additional pleas in support of their earlier challenge - does not mean that the subject matter of the present petition was not included in the matter before the Bombay High Court. The petitioners had challenged the formation, interalia, challenging that the prima facie opinion was not valid. The present petition seeks to re-agitate the same issue albeit on the basis of additional information claimed to be have been received subsequently. Plainly, the petitioners cannot be permitted to do so. This Court is of the view that the petitioners' contention that they had recently acquired the information as to how the prima facie opinion was formed is a mere ruse intended to delay and obstruct the disciplinary proceedings, which cannot be permitted.
