That I do not have faith in these proceedings, in this matter, being conducted in the Jammu Wing of the Hon'ble High Court of J. and K. I therefore submit that in the interest of justice, equity and fairplay as also good conscience these proceedings be transferred to the Srinagar-wing of this Hon'ble Court.
After perusal of the report this Court found :
It is regrettable and a matter of concern for all those who cherish the independence of judiciary and glory of law requiring immediate action for maintaining dignity and honour of this institution. It is more unfortunate that this Court has been compelled to take action against a subordinate judicial officer from whom the respect for the Court and the dignity of law is not only expected, but warranted under law and service rules. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case in which the report was sent for from the Magistrate and the derogatory and contemptuous language used by him. It is directed that let a Robkar be framed against the said Magistrate and notice issued to him to show cause as to why the contempt proceedings be not initiated against him and he be punished and sentenced for the same. Notice be made returnable within two weeks. The Deputy Registrar is directed to take immediate steps for the service of the notice upon the Magistrate through District Judge, Kathua by a special Messanger. This petition along with Robkar shall be listed for further proceedings in the week commencing from 4th of Dec., 1989 before any available bench. A notice shall also be issued to the Advocate General to assist the Court in the matter relating to the contempt proceedings. The Deputy Registrar shall supply the copy of the reply submitted by the Presiding Officer to the Advocate General.
