Disallowance of costs of unnecessary petition

In any case in which, after a bankruptcy petition has been presented by a creditor
            against a debtor and before the hearing of such petition, the debtor files a petition
            and a bankruptcy order is made on the petition of the debtor, unless in the opinion of
            the court the estate has benefited thereby or there are special circumstances which make
            it just that such costs should be allowed, no costs shall be allowed to the debtor or
            his solicitor out of the estate.
