2017 (9) TMI 255 - DELHI HIGH COURTAllegations levelled against the counsel appearing on behalf of the Revenue Department - Contempt of Courts - Mr. Rakesh Kumar Gupta states that although he is willing to withdraw some allegations on his own, and has already done so, he is not willing to withdraw all the allegations levelled against the lawyers representing the Revenue Department - Held that:- Mr. Rakesh Kumar Gupta having addressed us for an hour and a half on the 28th July, 2017 before the order referred to hereinabove came to be recorded and having further addressed us for twenty minutes today, expresses his inability to conclude his submissions on account of his illness, characterised as pain in his left eye. Mr. Rakesh Kumar Gupta further articulates in Court that he feels his blood pressure has shot up and he feels the need to use the wash room frequently and is, further, unable to continue his arguments today. He, therefore, requests that the matter be adjourned for a month and a half in order to enable him to recoup his health and address this Court. We are constrained to observe that the conduct of Mr. Rakesh Kumar Gupta in the present proceedings, as well as, in the Court has been unreasonable and dilatory. Even as we were dictating this order he has interrupted us a few times. However, in the interest of justice, as a final opportunity, at the request of Mr. Rakesh Kumar Gupta, we are adjourning the matter to 18th August, 2017. It is, however, made clear to Mr. Rakesh Kumar Gupta that no further opportunity shall be granted in this behalf.
