In order to sustain and maintain sanctity and solemnity of the proceedings in law courts it is
necessary that parties should not make false or knowingly, inaccurate statements or
misrepresentation andor should not conceal material facts with a design to gain some
ad!antage or "enefit at the hands of the court, when a court is considered as a place where
truth and #ustice are the solemn pursuits$ If any party attempts to pollute such a place "y

In this petition orders dated 1<$A$09 and A$10$09 passed "y the (rincipal Judge, /amily +ourt,

It appears from the record that in a di!orce case an application was mo!ed "y the hus"and
that the lady had wrongly filed an affida!it that she is not ser!ing in =elhi (u"lic 'chool, 6rail,
.aini, =istrict 6llaha"ad and therefore, action "e taken against her$ -he lady was ready for
inCuiry in the matter and the court !ide order dated 21$11$0@ ordered that the inCuiry "e
made in the matter and the defaulter "e punished with a fine of %s$10,000E$ 'u"seCuent
thereto the report from the college was o"tained and it was reported "y the college that the
!ersion of the lady was wrong$ In such situation, the court !ide order dated 1<$A$09 imposed a
fine of %s$10,000E upon the lady 4applicant5$ 3y the order dated A$10$09 the o"#ections filed

instituted "y the hus"and were re#ected$ Deard 7r$ 6$.$ -ripathi, learned counsel for the
applicant, learned 6>6 and perused the record$
It has "een argued "y 7r$ -ripathi that under the pro!isions of 'ection 340, +r$($+$ the court
can make only preliminary inCuiry and the final order which may "e in the form of imposing
fine can "e passed "y the court of competent #urisdiction and the court of competent
#urisdiction would "e that court in which the complaint would "e filed "y the court in which the
per#ury was committed$ -he court which made the preliminary inCuiry had no #urisdiction to
finally conclude the matter and impose the fine, therefore, the order dated 1<$A$09 is "ad and
is lia"le to "e Cuashed$ %egarding the order dated A$10$09 it was argued "y 7r$ -ripathi that
once a wrong order was passed "y the court on 1<$A$09 it should ha!e "een re!iewed and
when it was not re!iewed, hence, the order dated A$10$09 is also "ad and is lia"le to "e
Cuashed$
'o far as the order dated 1<$A$09 is concerned, in that regard I am of the !iew that the matter

"y 7r$ -ripathi$ 'o far as the argument regarding the order dated A$10$09 is concerned, in that
regard it has "een argued "y 7r$ -ripathi that the court cannot initiate dual proceedings$ )nce
