7. S.Shanthi 8.P.Ganesan 9.C. Ramakrishnan 10.K.Kalisamy @ Natarasu : Respondents Prayer: Contempt Petition filed to punish the respondents for having wilfully disobeying the orders of this Court made in W.P.No. 29193 of 2023 dated 09.10.2023.
For Petitioner :
Mr.S.Senthilnathan For Respondents 1 to 5 :
Mr.A.Edwin Prabhakar, State Government Pleader assisted by Mr.M.Habeen Rahman, Government Advocate
ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) When we pointed out to the counsel that there is not even an averment, counsel stated that contempt notice sent to respondents that they have failed to obey the order of the Court is dated 09.01.2024, and it is referred to in paragraph No.1 of the petition. The notice, counsel stated, was at page No.45 of the typed set. We find that notice dated 29.01.2024.
2. Counsel stated thereafter, that too very casually, that it is the mistake of the counsel that the date in the affidavit is given as '09.01.2024' instead of '29.01.2024'.
3. We wonder whether petitioner has even read the petition because petitioner is alleging contempt against respondents, allegation of wilful disobedience of orders passed by this Court.
4. Petitioner cannot be so casual in making allegations without reading the petition. We also find in the affidavit that the year on which the affidavit has been signed is also not mentioned. It only says, "7th day of November at Chennai, in my presence". This is another instance of petitioner being very casual while making serious allegations against respondents. This itself indicates that petitioner has not read the affidavit; and we would add, even the lawyer too.
5. Therefore, we dismiss the petition.
