The Delhi High Court has dismissed Satya Prakash Ravidas's latest petition concerning Raj Vidya Kender with ₹2 lakh costs. Justice Amit Mahajan found that the litigant sought the same relief already rejected in earlier proceedings and failed to disclose that history. The amount must be deposited with the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within four weeks. The Registry was directed not to list another case filed by him until payment. The order distinguishes a fresh representation from a genuinely new dispute and holds that appearing without a lawyer does not justify repeated litigation over issues the Court has adjudicated.
