United News Agency dated 4th April 2025: A Supreme Court bench consisting of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan was hearing a contempt petition against the Punjab Chief Secretary for violating an earlier commitment made by the state’s Additional Advocate General regarding the scheme’s implementation. There is a case of similar nature where the Advocate General of Gujarat promised the Gujarat High Court that action would be taken to include the bribe givers as co-accused along with the financial culprit sentenced to jail. I would like to know how action can be initiated to implement the promise made by the Advocate General to the Gujarat High Court. Should I write to the Bar Council of Gujarat, the Bar Council of India, or any other authority?
If the Advocate General’s promise to the High Court is not implemented, you can file a civil contempt petition under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 for breach of undertaking. You may also move an application before the same High Court bench to monitor and enforce compliance. If the matter is disposed, seek its revival or modification for enforcement with a fixed timeline. Bar Councils can address misconduct, but only the High Court can compel implementation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
