Suddenly Contempt of Court Law has taken a leap forward.

Suddenly every judge in India has become bold and empowered and has now got power to punish any lawyer who abuses him or shouts at him or tries to bully him during arguments of a case....

It all happened suddenly and unexpectedly.

A week ago, an advocate while arguing a case in Supreme Court, abused and try to bully one of the judges of a two judge bench.

The Judge did not take this lightly. This was a contempt in face of a court.

Old view was such thst when a lawyer commits contempt of Judge in face of judge, the judge issues him notice of contempt and transfers the case to another judge to deal with the contempt.

This practice was not working effectively. The procedures of issuing notice, proper service of summons, and then filing of reply, and then hearing in other court used to take months and years.

Now law has suddenly taken a leap forward. It has been held that when contempt is made on face of a Judge, the judge can punish him then and there itself...no need to issue notice.

It means this in simple words :

Every Judge in India is now armed with a new power in contempt law. Entire Judiciary has become stronger against 1) " Lawyers who have nuisance value " and 2) who "Pride themselves in bullying the judges".

Indian judiciary has moved forward.

One thing which pains in heart of every law student, lawyer and Judge :- Whenever a politician brazenly breaks order of court or verbally attacks courts, his political popularity increases and he

One thing which pains in heart of every law student, lawyer and Judge :- Whenever a politician brazenly  breaks order of court or verbally attacks courts, his political popularity increases and he is soon elected with majority votes by people.

An Analysis : This shows that 1) there is deep resentment towards courts, lawyers and judges in heart of people 2) but they do not speak against courts, lawyers and judges because of fear of contempt of court laws.

Two Suggested solutions :

(1) Resentment in heart of people cannot be removed by logic or by force. Rohde Island Judge Frank Caprio has shown a way. Search on You Tube "Rohde Island Judge" and you will see a series of videos which have gone viral on social media. Each video has effect of removing resentment from heart of people. If such videos are made in India, they can remove resentment of people.

(2) Recently a Gujarat court punished three politicians that for one month, they will keep sweeping local civil hospital. And at their expanses complete video of their sweeping will be made. A CD of these video shall be daily deposited in evening with Civil Surgeon of Hospital.

I believe that such measures can remove resentment from heart of people of India.

When we write an article on any topic of law,lfirst thing we should consider is from whom we are writing for.

If we are writing to educate people, then our language should be simple. Use of technical words should be avoided so far as possible.

If we are writing for professional colleagues, then the words and the phrases we use should be specific. The statements we make should be authentic and, preferably references for verification should be given.

If we are writing for law students and new junior lawyers, then our words should inspire and motivate them for study of deeper aspects of law.

The point is, "Mind your audience" while writing any article on any topic of law.
