Abdul Kareem Vs. Iswarappa and ors.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-20-1982

Reported in: 1983CriLJ114; ILR1982KAR189; 1982(1)KarLJ472

G.N. Sabhahit, J.1. The contempt application instituted by Kareem is based on a consent order passed by this Court on 2-1-1980 in W.P. No. 4227/ 1979. The order reads : 'As agreed to by both the parties it is hereby directed that both the parties should not construct either by themselves or allow other to construct any new buildings, structures or huts in the disputed land till the disposal of this writ petition. No separate orders necessary on I.A. I.' 'I.A. No. I is accordingly disposed of, subject to the observations made above'. 2. Thus, it becomes clear that there is no order of the Court as such and the agreement of the parties is recorded and nothing more. No undertaking as such is taken by the Court. In such cases it is obvious that contempt proceeding cannot lie. 3. Contempt proceedings are mainly to uphold dignity and decorum of the Court and not to vindicate the rights of the parties. The Supreme Court of India in the case of Babu Ram Gupta v. Sudhir Bhasin : 1979CriLJ952 o...
