The Calcutta Weekly Notes Monday September 6 1943

As we read the judgments in the cotempt of Court case it appears to us that on all the important questions of principle The members of the Court were agreed. [...] It was not possible to say so it is held that in the present case the arrests were of that character It had to be remembered that in making the order of release the Court had not pronounced in any manner that there was no case for detention against the dtenues. [...] Dutta Majumdar asked under what authrity he was being arrested that he was not to bother about it ; (2) the existence or noexistence of a warrant at the time the arest was made; (3) the fact of the chief of the police force describing the proceedings of the Court as a tamasha; and (4) another police officer saying when asked how Mr. [...] The majority of the Judges do not deal with the description of the Court’s proceedings as a tamasha which was not denied. [...] The former rejects the extreme contention of the Advocate-General that even if the police had refused in the face of the Court to carry out the order of release there would be no contempt since the warant of arrest under Regulation III of 1818 armed the police with an overriding authrity to keep the persons concerned under detention.
