K.R.SHRIRAM
Shernaz Faroukh Lawyer – Appellant
Versus
Manek Dara Sukhadwalla – Respondent
1. This is one more matter where a party, in this case, the Respondent, who despite being given repeated opportunity has repeatedly abused the liberty granted by the Court. The Respondent, if let off, it will erode the faith that the public have on judiciary. The rule of law is premised upon the faith reposed by the people in the justice delivery system. To prevent erosion of that faith, contemptuous behaviour needs a strict treatment. These three Contempt Petitions have been filed seeking action against the same Respondent- Manek Dara Sukhadwalla under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 charging against him of having contumaciously and deliberately breached orders of this Court. The Respondent has filed an application for Probate of a Will of one Late Purvez Burjor Dalal (PBD), claiming to be the Executor under the said Will. The Probate Petition has been independently challenged. We are not going into the merits of the Probate Petition. It is alleged that the Respondent has deliberately and contumaciously not disclosed or submitted incomplete disclosures repeatedly of the assets of the said PBD and of his dealings with the estate of PBD.
