He who comes to equity must come with clean hands

A person who has acted unfairly, dishonestly or illegally in the matter cannot ask for an equitable remedy. The court may refuse relief even if the other side has also been at fault.

Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 leaves specific performance to the court's discretion, and the court considers the conduct of the claimant.

Asked with the discretion of the court in specific performance.

Dirty hands, no equity.

A person must come to court with honest conduct.
