GULSHAN BAJWA vs REGISTRAR, HIGH COURT OR DELHI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, for making threatening remarks towards a lady counsel and for disobeying court orders by failing to appear and filing baseless allegations against the judges. The Court emphasized that such conduct undermines the dignity of the legal profession and the authority of the court. The sentence of three months civil imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 2,000 was affirmed, reinforcing the principle that contemptuous behavior by advocates will not be tolerated.
