New Delhi, Feb 19 (PTI) The Central Administrative Tribunal has held that the power of contempt in judicial proceedings has to be exercised with "abundant caution".
"The power of contempt, which is essentially a local tool to secure respect and confidence in judicial proceedings, has to be exercised with abundant caution," the Tribunal bench comprising members Shanker Raju and Veena Chhotray said.
The CAT passed the observation on a plea of a doctor who had filed a contempt petition against MCD for allegedly not obeying the Tribunal's previous order directing it to regularise certain period of his service during which he remained absent as per the service rules.
The doctor R R Gautam had also challenged the charge sheet issued against him in 2009 which questioned the genuineness of the medical certificate produced by him.
"Every act cannot be a definite defile or wilful negligence of the court's order.
