In the order dated 20.3.2001, this Court has noted that the acts of the alleged contemnors prima facie amount to interference with the course of justice. Obviously, there is no case of contempt within the meaning of Section 2(b) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The Suo-moto cognizance as taken appears to be a case of criminal contempt and, therefore, the registry is directed to place this contempt petition before the appropriate Bench on criminal side.
