New Delhi: Following their conviction in a check bounce case, a prisoner and his attorney reportedly threatened to kill the judge in the Dwarka court on April 2. After being found guilty and given a 22-month jail term and a Rs. 665,000 fine, the convicted individual allegedly lost his temper and threatened the court.

The prisoner, a 63-year-old former government teacher, reportedly told the female judge, “Tu hai kya cheez… ki tu bahar mil dekhte hai kaise zinda ghar jaati hai.”

The court referred the case to the Principal District and Sessions Court Dwarka on April 5 so that the High Court may begin the proper processes in accordance with the April 2 judgment.

Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Shivangi Mangla rendered the verdict on the day of the occurrence, found the accused guilty, and forwarded the case for sentencing arguments.

The court observed that the accused became enraged with the judge in public after learning that the verdict was not in his favor, questioning how the conviction verdict could have been rendered.

“The accused started harassing the judge in open court in unofficial Hindi with commentary against the mother of the judge,” the judgment said.

The accused attempted to hurl the item he was holding at the judge for failing to issue an order in his favor. The accused made the comments, and the felon and his lawyer began to annoy the judge.

The court observed that she was physically and psychologically abused by the convicted person and his attorney, who demanded that she leave her work and clear the accused.

“Then again, they were both harassed mentally and physically to resign from their jobs, and they were both again harassed to acquit the accused, else they will file a complaint against me and forcibly arrange my resignation,” the ruling reads.

In front of the National Commission for Women, the court decided to take necessary action against the convicted individual after expressing worry about his actions. Additionally, Atul Kumar, the convict’s attorney, was asked to explain why he shouldn’t be sent to the High Court to start contempt proceedings.

The convicted individual was given a 22-month jail term by the court. The fine imposed on him is Rs. 665,000.

According to the accused’s attorney, the convicted individual is a 63-year-old retired government teacher who is now receiving his pension.

The convict’s three main dependent sons are jobless, it was further argued. A lenient stance and a minimal term for the convicted individual were requested. In order to contest the verdict in front of the higher court, the convicted individual was given bail.
