Justice Banerjee then said Dehadrai was misinterpreting him and that the Court was not asking him to withdraw from the case.
“I am not saying don’t refer to this. I am saying refer to this from the order,” he said.
Dehadrai replied that once he had been warned that contempt would be drawn against him, it was difficult for him to proceed in the matter.
“I’ve never been told by a court that contempt will be issued because I’m handing over some documents,” Dehadrai said.
Justice Banerjee insisted that the language used in the material is such that it cannot be read in the Court. He added that he had seen the video and the transcript in the case file and that he was not stopping Dehadrai from relying on those documents.
“There is nothing against you or for you. As a counsel, you have all the liberties and privileges to appear before me,” Justice Banerjee said.
“Whenever I appear before this Court, I feel there is something that I am not able to…, Dehadrai submitted.
“So, the common factor is I am like that. Don’t judge the book by the cover,” Justice Banerjee replied.
He then insisted that Dehadrai should continue with the matter.
Ultimately, the arguments commenced, and the Bench reserved its verdict in the matter.
