1 29 D.B. CIVIL CONTEMPT PETITION NO.8/2010 Ratan Lal Vs. Ashok Kumar Sharma RJS. Date of Order :: 10th February 2010. HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. JAGDISH BHALLA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI Mr.Ratan Lal, petitioner present-in-person. ..... BY THE COURT The petitioner is a practicing counsel and has filed this contempt petition against a judicial officer. It has been submitted that this contempt petition is civil contempt but no order of this Court or any other Court has been placed before us by the applicant- petitioner that has been disobeyed. However, the order as passed by the learned Magistrate on 20.10.2009 has been placed before us alleging that the same has not been passed in accordance with law; and it has been informed that an application had been moved by the petitioner that the Magistrate concerned may not hear his case because, on his direction, an FIR has also been lodged against the petitioner. We are of the considered view that the petitioner has failed to indicate any matter which may come within the ambit of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. However, if there be any question on 2 the legality of the order, it is always open to challenge the same in accordance with law. This is not the first time that in such circumstances, the petitioner, who is practicing as counsel, has filed this type of contempt petition. The earlier one had been contempt petition bearing No.3/2010: Ratan Lal Vs. Mrs. Alka Gupta that was dismissed on 01.02.2010. Though we restrain this time from recording any further finding with respect to his conduct but we caution the petitioner for such actions. If repeated, we shall have to take cognizance of his actions and omissions. The contempt petition fails and is, therefore, rejected. (DINESH MAHESHWARI),J. (JAGDISH BHALLA),CJ. s.soni
