ORDER

1. These contempt petitions are filed by the party-in- person -Jeetendra Kumar Rajan under the provisions of Sections 11 and 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 praying to take action against the accused for willful disobedience of the order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court dated 19th May 2021 made in Writ Petition No.1355/2021 (EDN-RES) c/w Writ Petition Nos.3210/2021, 3211/2021, 3212/2021, 3214/2021 (EDN-RES) and the order dated 16th November 2021 made in Writ PetitionNo.19716/2021 (GM-RES) c/w Writ Petition Nos. 19827/2021, 19829/2021, 19830/2021, 19832/2021, 19908/2021, 19909/2021.

2. In Writ Petition No.1335/2021 and connected matters, the learned Single Judge of this Court while dismissing the said writ petitions by an order dated 19.5.2021, has observed at paragraphs 6 and 7 as under:

6. With this background, if one would analyse and consider the prayers made by the petitioner in these writ petitions, it is clear that the petitioner has misused and abused the process of this Court. This Court would not hesitate to say that this Court has been very considerate to the petitioner and has shown undeserved leniency towards the petitioner. No doubt, Courts should be considerate while hearing a petitioner/party-in-person, but indulgence which would encourage such persons in filing petitions after petitions on the same cause of action should be deprecated. The respondent-University has given the list of writ petitions and proceedings initiated by the petitioner, which runs close to three digit figures. It is because of this undeserved leniency shown to the petitioner that he dares to pray to permit him to file 32 fresh writ petitions in the disposed of R.P.No.28/2019 and CCCNo.200156/2017. The petitioner has sought directions to the respondents to file affidavits and threatens to initiate criminal, proceedings if they failed to file the affidavit or argue the matter.

7. In consideration whereof, this Court would proceed to hold that the writ petitions filed by the petitioner is a blatant abuse of the process of this Court. There is absolutely no merit in these writ petitions. Therefore, while dismissing the writ petitions, it is hereby directed that the petitioner shall be precluded from filing any other writ petition in this regard. The petitioner, no doubt, is required to be saddled with exemplary costs, but payment of costs shall stand deferred. If the petitioner files any other writ petition/proceedings in this regard, office shall put up a note regarding the directions issued hereby. The petitioner shall be called upon to deposit Rs.1,00,000/-(Rupees one lakh), without which the matter shall not be listed. On such deposit, the costs shall be tendered to the respondent-Visveswaraya Technological University. In hope and trust that the petitioner would realize the futility in knocking at the doors of this Court and on the contrary, the need to single mindedly concentrate on studies and in acquiring knowledge would ultimately dwell upon the petitioner, these writ petitions stand dismissed. (emphasis supplied)

3. In Writ Petition No.19716/2021 and connected matters, the learned Single Judge of this Court while rejecting the said writ petitions by an order dated 16.11.2021, has observed as under:

In the above circumstances, these writ petitions being absolutely unmeritorious and calculated to abuse the process of the court, are liable to be rejected in limine and accordingly they are with a cost of Rs. 10,000/- each; petitioner shall deposit the said cost with the Registry within a period of four weeks, failing which the Registry shall institute the contempt proceedings for recovering the same.

4. It is unfortunate that the complainant - Jeetendra Kumar Rajan has filed these contempt petitions against Sri T.G. Shivashankare Gowda, the Registrar General and Sri K.S. Bharath Kumar, Registrar (Judicial) of this Court by misusing and abusing the process of the Court.

5. Since the complainant - party-in-person has co
