1. DECISION ' These are two connected appeals of the workers of M/s. Funland (Rani Bagh), Hyderabad in respect of their grievance applications for re-instatement.

17. We may mention here that before coming to the conclusion we had also heard the learned Additional Advocate-General who unequivocally and without any reservation submitted that the respondent has committed contempt of Court of the type which has no parallel in the history of this Court and that the contents of the petition as well as his utterances in the proceedings are not only vexatious but also scandalous. He submitted that the contemnor neither deserves any leniency nor is there any mitigating circumstance and should, therefore, be punished suitably."

2. ' Examining the pleadings in the light of above laid dictum, I feel that conduct of Mr. Azam Jan Zarkoon, Advocate who gave personal affidavit concerning vague, wild and vexatious assertions is not above board, and lacks professional ethics tending to undermine the prestige of Court.

3. ' Learned Advocate-General has specifically /drawn attention to the contents and grounds of appeal which smacks contemptuous averments Apparently circumstances called for action which has severe consequences, but considering that above-named Advocate is young man and new entrant in the profession, having long way to go in the career, it would be expedient merely to warn him for being careful in future and abstain from improper expression in the pleadings, or arguments.

4. ' Subject to above observation, the appeal is dismissed.
