"Sir, I decline to appear in Court because it is a useless notice from you to me. It is a disrespectful act from you to me", the contemnor's response to notice in the contempt petition read.
The Court concluded that the complaint was filed with mala fide intention to wreak vengeance on a lawyer who was defending the complainant’s wife in a matrimonial case.
The Court expressed its doubts as to the veracity of the allegations against the man detained under the KAAPA and summoned the man and his parents to the Court before arriving at its decision.
The Court made the comment while dismissing a plea by a man who claimed that his partner was being forcefully detained by her family. The Court found that the plea was only a "ploy" to defame the woman.
