JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. H.S.Brar, Addl. AG, Punjab. Mr. M.B.Rana, respondent-contemner, in person. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (ORAL) This Court has entertained the complaint dated 20.5.1992 written by Sh. K.K.Sharma, as a writ petition. Vide the aforesaid communication, it was pointed out that the respondent has been mis- using the judicial system by getting issued summons from the Court of the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Ludhiana and respectable citizens and often their wives also are framed into false cases. On the basis of such complaint, a report was sought from the District & Sessions Judge (Vigilance), Punjab, wherein it was reported to the following effect : "The facts of the case go to show that Mr. Rana had been filing a large number of cases, both civil and criminal in various courts in the States of Punjab and Haryana and the fact that he had been adandoning the claim by getting the suit/complaints dismissed in default, speaks volumes against the genuine nature of cases. In these circumstances, therefore, if approved : a) all the cases filed by Mr. Rana, pending in various Courts CWP No.5258 of 1993 2 of Punjab, Haryana and U.T. Of Chandigarh be called and examined so as to quash the proceedings therein being abuse of process of law; b) to issue fresh notices of contempt to Sh. Rana for his having abused the judicial system by filing false and frivolous complaints; and c) thereafter the matter with regard to issuance of injunction restraining Mr. Rana from initiating such frivolous proceedings in any Court in future, may also be considered." Today, Mr. Rana, who is present in Court, states that all complaints, which he has filed earlier stand withdrawn and if any such complaint is still pending, he shall withdraw the same. He further states that henceforth he shall not file any complaint or initiate any other proceedings, which may harass any person or scandalize the Court or otherwise interferes with the administration of justice. In view of the said undertaking and the fact that Mr. Rana is now 77 years of age, the present writ petition is disposed of with direction to the respondent to abide by his statement made in the Court today.
