In Brief

This order addressed an interim application by respondent no.4 (Shri Mathews Nedumpara) for discharge from contempt of court proceedings registered on a joint complaint by the Bombay Bar Association and Law Society. The Court discharged respondent no.4 at this stage, finding insufficient direct material linking him to the alleged communication attributed to respondents 1 and 2, though the complaint had alleged he acted in tandem with them. The Court reserved the right to recall the discharge if evidence of his involvement emerged during trial. Other respondents were ordered to file replies within three weeks."
