The Court noted that the bus was seized on 15-1-2020. While refusing the prayer for urgent hearing, the Court went on to state that: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<i>the petitioner cannot, by his own conduct, create an urgent like situation during the present disturbing times <\/i>and seek a hearing in the absence of the respondent much after seizure of the bus was effected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s2\">While the order was being dictated by Justice Datta presiding the Court singly,<b> <\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Advocate Adhikari obstructed the course of administration of justice by not only interfering repeatedly in the course of dictation but also first thumped the addressing table and then banged the microphone on it more than once<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. Advocate Adhikari was warned but instead of heeding to such warning,<b> <\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">he was heard saying that Justice Datta\u2019s future shall be doomed by him and for such purpose he <i>cursed that Justice Datta be infected by corona virus<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Curtly, Justice Datta told Advocate Adhikari:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<i>[N]either do I fear dooming of my future nor being infected by the virus; the majesty of the Court is what is paramount in my mind and to uphold that a rule for contempt could be issued against him.<\/i>\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">However, Advocate Adhikari seemed not to care and was found to be unrelentingly shouting at the top of his voice. The Court observed that <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Advocate Adhikari\u2019s conduct was not behoving a member of the noble profession and thereby undermining the dignity and prestige of the Court<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In Court\u2019s opinion, conduct of Advocate Adhikari, apart from being abominable, prima facie amounts to criminal contempt within the meaning of Section 2(c) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. It was accordingly ordered that a suo motu Rule for contempt against Advocate Adhikari be drawn up and served on him as early as possible. Advocate Adhikari was directed to answer to the Rule within a fortnight from the date of service thereof. The Rule is made returnable before the appropriate Division Bench having determination upon reopening of the Court after summer vacation. [Kalidas Datta v.
