I do not propose to mention the various allegations made in the Contempt application but it is sufficient to say that the allegation is that the action of the respondent on 16-4-82 and 4-5-82 amounted to contempt of a stay order granted by this court on 15-4-82 in Crl. MP. 835/82 in Crl. MP 834/82. This contempt application has been filed in the High Court on 2-11-82 and was posted before a learned co-single Judge on 3-12-82 who was the same Judge who passed the stay orders on 15-4-82 and therefore he directed that the contempt case be posted before another learned judge. Thereafter this contempt petition was posted before another learned judge on 7-12-82 who adjourned the matter for a period of six months. Thereafter the petition was first listed before me on 24-6-83 and the learned Advocate General requested for an adjournment by four weeks which was granted by me.
