The present contempt application has been filed pleading disobedience of the order dated 4.11.2020 passed by the Supreme Court in Rajnesh Vs. Neha & Another (2021) 2 SCC 324 as well as the order of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Baghpat. The High Court either under Article 215 of the Constitution of India or under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 is not empowered to punish for contempt of Hon'ble Supreme Court. The power to punish for its own contempt vests in the Supreme Court itself. Counsel for the applicant has pointed out the observation of the Supreme Court noting that the contempt proceedings for willful disobedience of any direction given in the judgement of the Supreme Court may be initiated before appropriate Court. The judgement does not define appropriate Court as the High Court. The applicant may exercise other remedies available to him in law. It is not a case to register proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 before this Court. The contempt application is dismissed.
