HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CONTEMPT APPLICATION (CIVIL) No. - 6853 of 2026 Court No. - 53 HON'BLE VIKAS BUDHWAR, J.
1. The present contempt application has been preferred alleging willful defiance of the order dated him dated 20.01.2026 passed in Writ-C No.205 of 2026 (Juganoo Vs. State of U.P. and others), order whereof is quoted herein under:-
"1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant. 2. It is alleged that the order of writ Court has been violated. 3. From a perusal of the record, a prima facie case for contempt is made out. 4. Issue notice to opposite party no. 1, returnable within a month. 5. List this matter on the date fixed in the notice."
2. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant has complied with the order while making the deposit of Rs.1,50,000.00 within 15 days. However while inviting attention towards para 16 of the contempt application, it is being asserted that harassment and abusive and filthy language is being used. Thus, the opposite parties have committed contempt of the order of the Writ Court. 3. I have heard the submissions made by the applicant and perused the record. 4. In para 16 of the contempt application, the following has been alleged:-
"16. That the applicant is further being subjected to continuous harassment and threats by persons claiming to be officials/recovery agents of the respondent-Bank. The applicant has received threatening calls from mobile number 9113737383, wherein the caller has used filthy and abusive language and threatened the applicant Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Mohd Haleem Counsel for Opposite Party(s) :
Juganoo .....Applicant(s) Pankaj Gupta, Branch Manager, Punjab and Sindh Bank .....Opposite Party(s)
with recovery proceedings."
5. As per the order of the Writ Court, once the applicant has deposited Rs.1,50,000.00 then recovery is to be stayed till the disposal of the OTS application, but there is nothing on record to show that any recovery certificate has been issued. The only grievance of the applicant is that threatening calls have been made by the opposite party and he has been threatened. In case, threatening calls are being made, then in that regard it shall be open for the applicant to take legal recourse, while lodging proceedings as permissible and advisable under law, may be criminal proceedings in that regard. 5.
Accordingly, the contempt application is consigned to record leaving it open to the applicant to take legal proceedings as advisable under law.
