JUDGEMENT
YATINDRA SINGH, J. -
(1.) THE bar and the bench are wheels of the same chariot and it is painful to
exercise contempt proceeding against one
of them. But our duty is to see that the
chariot moves on and does not stop due
malfunctioning of one of them.
THE FACTS
(2.) THREE cases are being decided by this judgement: two of them are the
contempt references sent by the Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Fatehpur (the CJM)
involving four contemners; and the third
one is criminal revision against the order
dated 20.11.2006 dismissing the criminal
complaint of one of the contemner.
Three of contemners are practising advocates in the Fatehpur
judgeship: they are Sri Prakash Singh, Sri
Prachitya Paurav and Sri Gyanendra
Singh. They were enrolled as the
advocates in 1972, 1991, and 2004
respectively. The fourth one, Ms. Shivali
is the daughter of one of the contemner
Sri Prakash Singh. She obtained her LLB
degree in 2003 but is not enrolled as an
Advocate.
First Contempt
(3.) CRIMINAL Contempt No. 30 of 2006 arises out of an incident happened on 27.10.2006 and about a book titled as
'Nyaya Palika Mein Apradhikaran'
(U;k;ikfydk esa vijk/khdj.k) (the Book) written
by Sri Prakash Singh and his daughter
Ms. Shivali. The relevant facts in this
regard are as mentioned in the succeeding
paragraph.;
