In an unusual order,

In an unusual order, the Punjab & Haryana High Court has criticised the Supreme Court for staying the contempt proceeding of the High Court, observing that "there is no scope for sundry direction being issued by the Supreme Court to a High Court, regarding certain proceeding pending before a High Court." In the present case, the High Court noted that the Supreme Court had stayed the contempt proceeding, not while hearing an appeal against the order initiating contempt proceedings but while hearing an appeal against the order based on which the contempt proceeding was initiated. A bench observed, seen at a psychological plane this type of order is actuated, primarily, by two factors, firstly a tendency to avoid owning responsibility of the consequence which such an order, in all likelihood, is bound to produce, under a pretense that an order of stay of contempt proceedings does not adversely affect anybody.
