Jammu and Kashmir High Court slaps ₹1 lakh cost on 81-year-old for harassing judges

Finding the present petition to be utterly misconceived, without locus and aimed at harassing the Sessions Court Judge, the Court said it deserves to be dismissed at the threshold.

However, the Court added that he cannot be left scot-free as that would only encourage him to harass judicial officers.

This petition is, accordingly, dismissed, with an exemplary costs of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupess One Lakh Only) to be deposited by the petitioner in the Litigants’ Welfare Fund within a period of four weeks. In case the petitioner fails to comply with the direction to deposit the costs, the Registrar Judicial of this Court shall, after expiry of four weeks, frame a Robkar and place it before the Court for further orders,” it ordered.
