Court: Orissa

Decided on: Jan-17-1992

Reported in: 1992(I)OLR442

B.L. Hansaria, C.J.1. The Secretary is present in person, so also the Headmaster. It is stated by the Headmaster that he was allowed to join yesterday in the school. According to us, this has happened because of the very strict view taken by us on 15-1-1992, when we made clear to the Secretary who was personally present and was then being represented by Shri K. K. Swain, that if by today we would not be satisfied that he had not violated this Court's order, we would have no alternative but to award a sentence of imprisonment on him. That day itself, we were not satisfied with the replies being given by the Secretary which were contradictory to each other as noted in our order dated 15-1-1992. As a submission had, however, been made on that date by Shri Swain, who withdraws his appearance today, that Senior Advocate Shri B. Misra who had been engaged by the contemner would like to make his submissions today, we did not pass any final order on that day. Shri Swain has stated to us today ...
