- (1.) This application has been filed by an Advocate of this Court by way of a public interest litigation. It had been listed earlier and learned Attorney General had entered appearance on behalf of the Union of India.
(2.) We have heard the petitioner. It has been couched in unsavoury language and the petitioner seems to have made an intentional attempt to indulge in mudslinging against the advocates, this Court in particular as also other constitutional institutions. Many of the allegations in his writ petition are likely to lower the prestige of this Court as the apex judicial institution. At one place in the writ petition, he has alleged :- "Thus the working of the Judges are cocktail based on Western Common Laws and American techniques, as such unproductive and out-dated according to socio-economic conditions of the country." At one another place, the petitioner has stated that:- "This Court has become a constitutional liability without having control over the illegal acts of the Government...........Thus the people for whom the Constitution is meant have now turned down their faces against it which is a disillusionment for fear that justice is a will of the wisp." Yet at another place the petitioner has stated that his Court is sleeping over the issues like Kumbhkarna. The reading of the writ petition gives the impression that it is clearly intended to denigrate this Court in the esteem of the people of India. We are of the prima facie view that the petition has been drawn up with a designed purpose of bringing the Court into contempt and the petitioner is, therefore, prima facie guilty of contempt.
(3.) The writ petition has been drafted in a careless manner. At several places the pleadings are meaningless. At several other places they are contradictory. The allegations are clumsy and several irrelevant facts have been put into the petition to inflate its size.;
