ICT-BD [ICT-21] Miscellaneous Case No. 01 of 2014 Order: 02 December 2014 of the public in the due administration of justice has been so cast on the Tribunal under section 11(4) of the Act of 1973. (ii) Locus standi in brining the application 27. First, act or conduct of an individual if constitutes despicable and derogatory to the authority and dignity of court of law can be brought to notice of it. The Act of 1973 does not provide time frame as to bringing any such act or conduct to notice of the Tribunal. One’s personal blog is not accessible to all. The people and regular readers are familiar with the daily news papers. They are not supposed to be acquainted with the blog of the contemnor. Only the people adapted with internet use and familiarized with contemnor’s personal blog may have access to the articles posted in that blog. 28. Second, the applicant became aware of the articles by browsing contemnor’s blog. It is not correct to say that on the very date the articles were posted in the blog the applicant should have gone through these, by browsing the blog. The applicant moved before this Tribunal when he discovered the articles in the personal blog of the contemnor. This reason justifies the ‘time gap’ in between posting of alleged articles in the blog and initiating the application before this Tribunal. It however in no way creates any clog in entertaining the application. 29. Third, this Tribunal taking cognizance of the application directed the opposite party [contemnor] to explain his conduct. On being noticed the opposite party [contemnor] submitted written explanation justifying his act and conduct that has been replicated in his articles. Considering the explanation unsatisfactory this Tribunal eventually ordered drawing contempt proceeding. Now, it is irrelevant to say that the application has been brought by a third party, neither the prosecution nor the defence of either case. 30. It is to be noted that ‘coming notice of the Tribunal’ about any contemptible act or conduct of an individual may happen in various modes. Even the Tribunal is empowered to take any such act or conduct into its notice suo moto. Not necessarily only the prosecution or defence 9
