1 D.B.Civil Contempt Petition No.3/2010 Ratan Lal V/s Mrs.Alka Gupta 1.2.2010 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Jagdish Bhalla Hon'ble Mr.Justice Dinesh Maheshwari Mr.Ratan Lal-applicant is present in person. The applicant submits that the non-petitioner Judicial Officer has committed contempt of Court by not complying with the directions issued by this Court in Cr.Misc.Petition No.1467/2009 on 07.10.2009. Perusal of the material placed on record makes out that the aforesaid miscellaneous petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. was directed against the order dated 07.07.2009 passed by the trial court whereby the application filed by the applicant for exemption in attendance was rejected and arrest warrant was issued in order to secure his presence while cancelling the bail bonds. After considering the reasons for absence as stated by the applicant, the learned Single Judge considered it proper to convert the warrant of arrest into bailable warrant subject to the condition that the applicant would appear before the Trial Court on 15.10.2009 and would submit fresh bail bonds and would regularly appear before that Court on each and every date of hearing. The applicant appeared and furnished fresh bail bonds to the tune of Rs.30,000/- and is now appearing regularly before the trial court. The submission of the applicant is that the trial court had committed wilful contempt of court by passing an order requiring him to furnish bail bonds in the sum of Rs.30,000/- as compared to the amount of bail bonds furnished last time i.e., Rs.5,000/-. 2 We have carefully perused the order dated 7th October, 2009 and heard the applicant in-person and we find that while passing the order in S.B.Cr.Misc.Petition No.1467/2009, the learned Single Judge had not specified any amount of bail bonds. The court below had applied its mind in the circumstances of the case and had fixed Rs.30,000/- as the amount of bail bonds, which were indeed furnished by the applicant. In light of the above, it cannot be said that there was wilful disobedience of the order passed by this Court. Accordingly, this contempt petition is dismissed. (Dinesh Maheshwari)J.
