A Division Bench of Punjab and Haryana High Court in Court On its Own Motion Vs. Ajit Singh and others considered the criticism against the Presiding Officer of the Court, making vilificatory and defamatory statements in a transfer petition filed under Section 24 of C.P.C. but ultimately those allegations were found to be false. Therefore, unfounded allegations made in the transfer application filed under Section 24 of C.P.C. would amount to contempt and the Court initiated proceedings and took action against the contemnor.
