Faces contempt proceedings in High Court
Taking serious note of the legal notice sent by an advocate, E. Ayyanar, to sub-judge A. Deepa in Dindigul, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday sought his enrolment details.
A Division Bench of Justices N. Kirubakaran and S. S. Sundar, hearing a contempt petition against Ayyanar, questioned how a legal notice was sent to a presiding officer. The court also summoned the advocate and adjourned hearing in the case.
It is said that Ayyanar, instead of filling an application to reject an original suit for want of jurisdiction, filed a legal notice on the sub-judge.
On the insistence of his client V. Arun Kumar, the advocate is said to have sent the notice to the sub-judge demanding the rejection of the suit, claiming that the court lacked jurisdiction.
In the notice, it was said that if the demand to reject the suit was not complied with by the judicial officer, then proceedings under the Contempt of Court Act might be initiated.
The sub-judge, on receiving the notice, brought it to the knowledge of the Principal District Judge, Dindigul.
The Principal District Judge then brought it to the notice of the High Court Bench.
Following this, a contempt petition was initiated against the advocate and his client.
court was informed that the advocate had already tendered an apology to the sub-judge.
