In Re: Ajai Kumar Bhardwaj - (High Court of Allahabad) (24 Sep 2015)

Advocates cannot condemn judges lightly

MANU/UP/1401/2015

Contempt of Court

In a contempt of court reference by an Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate against the Contemner for making false complaints against judicial officers, the Court sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs. 2,000, while also barring him from the court of the complainant magistrate for one year. It reiterated that advocates could not be “silent spectator” upon seeing a lack in judicial integrity, but the same did not give them a licence to “raise his finger over the competency and integrity” of a judicial officer, either casually or negligently.
