Blood Relatives should avoid taking case of blood relatives

Shubham Kumar & Subhash Kumar

In Re. Contempt Application (Cr.) 14 & 15 of 2022

Before Allahabad High Court

The Bench comprising Hon’ble Mr. Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh J and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajendra Kumar IV J closed on 12.10.2023 the proceedings initiated by the Additional Principal Judge Family Court Aligarh-1, as the apology tendered by the contemnors were not found to be genuine and hearing them further would waste the time of the meaty litigants.

Facts giving rise to Contempt Petition

Allegation against the Litigant Subhash Kumar is that he misbehaved with the Additional Principal Judge Family Court on 09.05.2022 while hearing of another case was going on. As his case was not called off, he started shouting when he was asked to wait he continued misbehaving with the Court giving rise to Contempt proceedings.

Allegation against the Advocate son is that he continued unruly and loud behavior and threatened the court by seeking transfer of proceedings. On being required to act in a civilized manner, he refused to abide by the advice.

Shubham Kumar- Advocate shouted saying he is a practitioner of the Allahabad High Court and he knows how to deal with petty courts & threatened to lodge a complaint against the Presiding Officer.

During hearing of the contempt proceedings Allahabad High Court asked the contemnors Father & Son are they seeking forgiveness?

Both answered yes.

When asked for what?

They answered “humney jo kara nahi”

Litigant-father Subhash Kumar even denied the occurrence.

Subhash Kumar in the post lunch session filed an application on 09.05.2022 @3pm for hearing of his case & @ 3.30pm his advocate son filed another application for hearing of his case. This is mentioned on the order sheet of their case by the Additional Principal Judge.

Observation of the Court

Any grievance that any litigant or lawyer may have may be addressed in due course. Any order that may be passed by a court to which any lawyer or litigant may have a grievance may be addressed by filing appropriate application or appeal or by making appropriate mention at the appropriate time.

What is more disastrous is that a son (lawyer) appearing for his father (litigant) that too in a matrimonial case with his mother. It cannot be for Courts to advise lawyers to choose their clients. It has always been left to the wisdom of the learned members of the bar.

The basic learning that any member of the bar imbibes at the initial years of practice is to tell him to not appear for his blood relatives. However, this wisdom and nuance has not touched Subham Kumar by a mile. He not only took up the matter of his father but that too against his mother, by his act, he became a party to the dispute itself.

It indeed would be sad if statutory law were to provide for restrains on who’s brief to take and who’s not. Yet, the father - son duo before us would appear to take no less. Thats the tragic part of this case.

We find that the present case is not a case that the Court may have the luxury to deal with, in the present state of its overburdened board.

To voice our opinion differently, we may note that in a matter such as this where the lawyer and the litigant both claimed (though not convincingly), utmost regard for the Court but their behavior and conduct is found wholly unacceptable and objectionable, we say, enough time has been wasted over those who are already wasted.

We do not have time to take our gaze away from the cause of justice and to devote the same to punish the contemnors as per the rules of law.

Our time would be better utilized and is needed to address the cry for justice by genuine litigants. It does not merit to be wasted on the jesters and/or deviant lawyer and litigant that these contemnors are. They are far too less deserving of that. Thus, such contemnors may sometimes waste Courts' time yet, they may be allowed to get away, in the interest of the other, genuine litigants and meaty matters.

We also make it clear that

Order

We refused to exercise our jurisdiction and have not absolved either Subhash Kumar and Shubham Kumar of their conduct.

It is only on account of wastage of time that we seek to prevent, we choose not to give them any further audience. They are thoroughly undeserving of that. Thus consigned.

Lawyers file contempt of court charge against DG DSS over failure to release Emefiele

About 60 Constitutional and Human Rights lawyers on Monday at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT commenced a contempt charge against the Director General of the State Security Service, Yusuf Bichi over alleged disobedience to multiple judgments and court orders, directing the release of the suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele from custody of the agency. The contempt charge is seeking to commit the DSS Chief to prison in line with provisions of the law on violation of lawful order of a competent court. The lawyers led by Maxwell Opara and Abdulazeez Ahmed Tijani, prayed the court to commit the DSS DG to prison until he purges himself of the contempt. In their motion filed before the Court for the issuance of form 48 and form 49 which are the forms to commence proceedings to commit a contemnor to prison, the lawyers said by the judgments and orders of Justice M. A. Hassan, Justice Hamza Muazu and Justice Bello Kawu, the DG DSS ought to have released Emefiele from detention. In the affidavit in support of the application, the lawyers deposed to the fact that Justice M. A. Hassan restrained the respondents in that suit, particularly, the State Security Service from arresting, detaining, or interrogating Emefiele for offences connected to Terrorism financing, money laundering, round tripping, financial crimes of national security dimension among others. They asserted that despite the clear and positive orders of Justice Hassan, the State Security Service still went ahead to arrest and detain Emefiele and detained him for well over a month while shopping for evidence. While addressing newsmen after filing their processes at the Registry of the Court, Maxwell Opara said the group will pursue the matter to its logical conclusion and ensure that Bichi is sent to prison to serve as a deterrent to other heads of security agencies and top government officials that contempt of court and gross abuse of offices for personal vendetta will no longer be tolerated. Opara also called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately relieve Bichi of his appointment as DG SSS for having allegedly misled the President that Emefiele had committed heinous crimes against the State only for him to now file a charge of unlawful possession of firearms. “Is it not clear enough to Nigerians that the SSS is persecuting Emefiele if after holding him for 5 weeks they can only file a ridiculous charge of possessing a pump action gun? Opara asked. “If possessing a validly registered pump action gun is a crime worthy of being held in perpetuity, what has the SSS done to the person threatening Nigerians from a particular section of the country with an assault rifle? This clearly shows the travail of Emefiele is more for political reasons than for any other.” “Assuming there was no valid court order since the DSS had been unable to find any evidence against Emefiele, he was entitled to his release and how much more now that three different courts have ordered his release, the SSS is still holding him in unlawful detention and violating all his rights, hence the reason why we will ensure Yusuf Magaji Bichi ends up being committed to prison”, the lawyer said.

QNET FRAUD|QNET REVIEWS|FAKE QNET SCHEME

The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Cyberabad Police in Telangana on a contempt petition alleging breach of court directives prohibiting 'coercive measures' and arrests of independent representatives of e-commerce QNet company .

A bench of justices R F Nariman and Vineet Saran issued a notice and asked the state administration for a response.

The high court also waived the attendance of the alleged contemnors and filed the contempt petition among other outstanding matters for final disposition.

The contempt notice was issued in response to a petition filed by Vihaan Direct Selling Pvt Ltd, QNet's Indian franchisee.

According to the plea, notwithstanding the highest court's order, independent representatives of the company were arrested by the Cyberabad Police on suspicion of running a ponzi scheme.

The QNet Distributors Welfare Association petitioned the Telangana High Court, alleging that state police officials were not following the state's notification on the Direct Selling Guidelines, 2017, and were indiscriminately registering criminal cases against independent representatives of QNet's Indian sub-franchisee Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Pvt. Ltd.

Supreme Court grants three weeks time to 33 lawyers to file affidavit in Odisha vandalism case

18 April, 2023

Today, a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court heard a matter related to Vandalism during the Odisha Lawyers’ strike demanding the formation of new benches in the High Court. The bench consisting of Justice Aravind Kumar and Justice SK Kaul granted a period of three weeks to the lawyers who have not filed their affidavits. There were 190 lawyers to whom notices were issued by the Supreme Court and 33 lawyers had not submitted their affidavits. To this, the Counsel appearing for the Contemnors stated that the affidavits are with him but there are certain issues or defects that are required to be cured. For the same, the counsel filed a plea seeking three weeks times to file the affidavits. The bench stated that “33 contemnors are stated not to have filed their affidavit yet. Counsel appearing for them, request for 3 weeks time to file the affidavit. This is the last opportunity beyond which we will assume they have nothing to say and proceed with contempt…”

Further, the bench was brought to notice that there were some of the contemnors who were not been served; therefore, the bench ordered to serve the unserved contemnors. Moreover, the top Court bench directed the case to be listed further in August 2023. During the proceeding, Justice Kaul asked “Are all courts working now” and he was informed that the courts are functioning appropriately. Previously, the lawyers against whom the top Court issued contempt notices, tendered an unconditional apology which was not accepted by the Court.

IGP, Usman Alkali Baba Sentenced To Three Months Imprisonment The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has been sentenced to three months imprisonment by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. The judgement was passed on Tuesday and the sentencing is a result of Baba disobeying a valid court order. Delivering the ruling, Justice M. O. Olajuwon held that the IGP should be kept in prison and detained in custody for a period of three months, or until he obeys an order it made on October 21, 2011. “If at the end of the three months, the contemnor remains recalcitrant and still refuses to purge his contempt, he shall be committed for another period and until he purges his contempt”, he stated. The development comes following a suit filed by an officer named Patrick Okoli, who was unlawfully and compulsorily retired from the Nigerian Police Force. Justice Olajuwon disclosed that the Police Service Commission (PSC) recommended Okoli’s reinstatement into the Police force and that even though it was affirmed by the court, Baba failed to comply with it. #inspectorgeneralofpolice #usmanalkalibaba #nigeria #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/CljGFh8o3nB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Contempt of Court

14 April, 2023

Introduction

If truth is God then obviously the Courts are the temples where justice is served. The Courts give their decision without any pride or prejudice and are neutral to everyone. Moreover, decisions are made as per the written law of the country; therefore, all the judicial decisions delivered by the Court must be respected. As the Jurists Lady Judge Langa said, “It must be obeyed as ordered unless set aside or varied.” Violation of the Court order lead to contempt of court due to which contempt law was introduced. The term ‘Contempt of Court’ is defined as an offence of being disrespectful or disobedient to a court of law and its officers; being impertinent and impolite in the courtroom towards the legal authorities, and being impudent towards court orders may lead to contempt of court proceedings. The judge has the right to impose sanctions on the contemnor such as imprisonment for a certain time period or a fine, in case he is found guilty of contempt of court. In this context, the Contempt of Court Act of 1971 was enacted that “define and limit the powers of certain courts in punishing contempts of courts and to regulate their procedure in relation thereto.” The primary purpose of the contempt law is to uphold the dignity of the judiciary as well as help the judges to decide cases without favor, ill will, fear, or affection.
