However no such explanation is offered in the petition. One would have therefore proceeded on the basis that no speed money expenses were estimated while working out the estimated expenditure out of 'on money' received. The petitioner must disclose all material facts even if not favourable to him. It is not open to the petitioner to selectively disclose facts and suppress some facts and yet seek extra ordinary remedy of a prerogative writ. As pointed out above, one of the heads of expenses claimed before the Commission for a .....

..... ll and true disclosure on account of the following three claims: (a) On money received by the petitioner; (b) Estimated expenses incurred out of on money; and (c) The entitlement to the benefit of Section 80IB of the Act. 3.

As the requirement of full and true disclosure of the income and the manner in which the income is derived is a requirement to be satisfied by the applicants at all time before this Commission 6. Therefore, examination of the petitioner's grievance with regard to true and full disclosure in the facts of the present case is academic. This is so as the other issue on which the application for settlement has been rejected is not challenged before us.

This in fact is the basis of the claim made by the applicant before the Commission. If according to the petitioner this amount of expenditure incurred on account of speed money for getting clearance was not allowable as expenditure, then the same could not have been taken into account while estimating the expenditure incurred by it before the Commission. 11. It needs no repeating that relief under Article 226 of .....
