(1.) THIS appeal is directed against the order dated (reported in 2003 Cri LJ 430I)14th July, 2003 passed by the High Court of Delhi in Criminal Misc. (M) No. 522 of 2003.
(2.) THE appellant, a judicial officer of the Delhi Higher Judicial Service, is aggrieved by the remarks and strictures which have been passed by the High Court of Delhi against him. According to the appellant, the remarks were totally undeserved, unjustified, unmerited and unnecessary for deciding the issue involved in the case. In this appeal, he has prayed for expunging and deleting the remarks passed by the High Court.
(3.) AN application dated 10-8-2002 was filed after more than five months of the order dated 4-3-2002 in which respondent Nos. 4 and 5 prayed that their passports be returned on the ground that respondent No.5 wanted to get her treatment done by respondent No. 3 who at that time was in Hong Kong. The CBI opposed the application in writing. Vide orders dated 14-8-2002, the application was rejected by the appellant. It was noted in the order that respondent Nos. 4 and 5 had willingly deposited their passports and, therefore, it would not be appropriate to release their passports till respondent No, 3(accusd Chandra Prakash) returns from abroad and seeks fresh permission to go abroad without depositing the passports of respondent Nos. 4 and 5.
