SITA RAM Vs. BALBIR @ BALI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This petition under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act') highlights willful and deliberate violation of the Judgment and Order dated 24.10.2013 passed by this Court in Criminal Appeal No.1834 of 2013 and seeks initiation of appropriate proceedings under the Act.

Thus, while setting aside the Order granting bail, this Court took into account the role played by the respondent in firing upon the deceased and the fact that he was an influential person in the area with criminal antecedents.

However, the record indicates otherwise and shows attempts to evade execution of consequential non-bailable warrants issued from time to time leading to delays in trial. The Orders passed by the Trial Court on 20.11.2013, 05.02.2014, 15.03.2014, 16.04.2014 and 14.05.2014 bear testimony in that behalf, which Orders were as under: 20.11.2013
