In death sentence cases, after mercy petition is rejected by President, there should not be undue delay in executing death sentence.
But what if there is long delay by government even thereafter? Can their death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment?
The issue is pending before SC as referred in judgement dates 9.2.2012 in SLP Crl No. 1105/2012 also reported in 2012(3)Scale page 533

What is Contempt of Court? If a traffic policeman stops car of a High Court Judge for regulating traffic, does it amount to contempt of court?
On 24th Sept, a Traffic Police stopped car of a High Court Judge to allow a procession of adivasis to pass by.
The Judge issued contempt notice to policeman.
The Judge was of view that “Court does not mean Court Room but movement of judge even outside, at least when he is moving to discharge official functions”.
The issue is/was still pending to be decided by higher court, as per reference given in Supreme Court Judgement dated 25/8/210 in case of Biman Basu versus Kallol Guha also reported in 2010(8) SCALE page 490 on 493.
