1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION COURT RECEIVER'S REPORT NO.191 OF 2008 IN SUIT NO.855 OF 2008 Proctor & Gamble Hygine and Health Care Limited & Anr. ...... Plaintiffs. V/s Paragon Pharmaceuticals ...... Defendants. ---- Mr. Shailendra Bhandare for the plaintiffs. Mr. D.N. Salvi with Mr. Abhishek Anjania for noticee. Mr. D.V. Devkar, 1st Assistant to the Court Receiver, present. Mr. Rajesh Saya, CSP present. ----- CORAM: V.M.KANADE, J. DATE : 14TH AUGUST, 2008. P.C.: 1. Pursuant to the show cause notice issued by this Court, Mr. Rajesh Saya, CSP of Jivaji Gaj Police Station, Ujjain, M.P. is present in Court. He has filed his affidavit in reply to the show cause notice dated 17/7/2008. He has stated in the said affidavit that all allegations which are levelled against him are denied. He has further stated that he has never disobeyed the orders issued by this Court and when some persons had approached him on 7/4/2008 alongwith the relevant papers, he had, after perusing the papers, noticed 2 that the matter was concerning Madhav Nagar Police Station which did not come within the territorial jurisdiction of his Police Station. He, therefore, advised them to approach the concerned Officer of Madhav Nagar Police Station. He has annexed two certificates issued by the S.P., Ujjain who has stated his territorial jurisdiction was within Madhav Nagar Police Station. 2. The Court Receiver had addressed a letter to the Senior Superintendent of Police having jurisdiction over 11/B, Industrial Area, Mexi road, Ujjain, M.P. After the Officer of the Court Receiver approached the Senior Superintendent of Police, he asked him to contact the contemnor in this case. This contemnor, on the other hand, has now in his affidavit- in-reply stated that jurisdiction of the said Industrial Area was with Madhav Nagar Police Station. The Superintendent of Police also has given a certificate to that effect. This clearly reveals that after having informed the officer of the Court Receiver's Department to approach the contemnor herein, now the certificate is given by him, stating therein that the Police Station wherein the contemnor was in-charge did not have jurisdiction. In my view, this is a clear instance of obstruction in the administration of justice. Prima facie it appears that the Superintendent of Police also has misled the Officer of the Court Receiver's Department and, as a result, the order passed by this Court could not be implemented. 3 3. Issue show cause notice against the Senior Superintendent of Police Mr. Manmeet Singh, Ujjain, M.P. as to why action under the Contempt of Court Act should not be initiated against him for non-compliance of the order passed by this Court dated 24th March, 2008. Mr. Manmeet Singh, the Senior Superintendent of Police, Ujjain is directed to remain present in this Court on the next date. The contemnor is also directed to remain present on the next date. Stand over to 28th August, 2008. V.M. KANADE, J.
