The Court has asked the officers to file it's reply as to why he may not be punished for contempt of court and fixed March 28 as next date of hearing.

Justice Suneet Kumar passed the order while hearing a contempt petition filed by one Monika, wife of Francis Cardoso, Sq Ldr of IAF.

Advocate Sujan Singh appearing for petitioner argued “the high court granted the petitioner immunity from arrest but police officer under influence of first informant arrested her from Car-Nicobar, which was in violation of the high court's order.”
