"12.....It is not possible or desirable to lay down the circumstances under which a court can exercise its discretion against the plaintiff. But they must be such that the representation by conduct or neglect of the plaintiff is directly responsible in inducing the defendant to change his position to his prejudice or such as to bring about a situation when it would be inequitable to give him such a relief." Mademsetty Satyanarayana v. G. Yelloji Rao and ors., 1965 (2) SCR 221, referred in #2020 SCeJ 52
