I.A. NO.165983/2019
1. We have heard applicant-in-person.

this application is to modify paragraphs Nos.15
and 25 of Order dated 14.08.2019. We accede to
that request.
3. Accordingly, Paragraph Nos.15 and 25 be
now read as under:
“15. The appellant has then prayed to
give appellant a full and fair hearing in
the matter. The record shows that fair

thus far; and it would be extended even
2

25. This writ petition was mentioned
on 1st March, 2019, when the Court passed
the following order:
“Ms. Seema Sapra, Advocate, who is
appearing as the petitioner-in-person in
these writ petitions, has mentioned
before this Court today that she has
been assaulted by some policemen outside
the High Court of Delhi last night.
It would be appropriate if Ms.
Sapra, petitioner-in-person, files an
First Information Report (FIR) to that
effect in the Office of appropriate
Deputy Commissioner of Police who is incharge
of the Tilak Marg Police Station,
New Delhi. She may also seek police
protection since she apprehends danger
to her life.
As prayed for, liberty is also
granted to Ms. Sapra, petitioner-inperson,
to file interlocutory
application for directions in the main
writ petitions.”
Pursuant to the aforementioned order the
petitioner was free to approach the office
of the concerned Commissioner of Police
and seek police protection if she
apprehended danger to her life. If the
authorities had failed to take necessary
action despite such request made by her,
it was and will be open to the petitioner
3
to pursue appropriate remedy in that
regard. We grant liberty to the
petitioner to pursue that remedy as per
law.”
4. The applicant has invited our attention
to order dated 26.03.2018, whereby the Registry
has been directed to issue notice also to the
Attorney General for India. The Registry may do
the needful in that behalf.
5. We intend to dispose of this I.A. in the
above terms. However, the disposal of this
application will not come in the way of the
applicant to pursue such other remedies as may be
permissible in law with regard to other issues
raised in the accompanying application(s).
6. It will be also open to the applicant to
pursue with the Delhi Police for appropriate
arrangement in terms of order dated 01.03.2019,
reproduced in paragraph 25 above. If any further
representation is received from the applicant, the
same be dealt with in accordance with law. If
representation has already been filed, the same be
considered by the concerned authority of Delhi
Police in right earnest so as to ensure the safety
4
and security of the applicant.
7. I.A. No.165983/2019 is disposed of
accordingly.
I.A. NOS. 123155/2019, 143636/2019, 146620/2019
and 150945/2019
1. The reliefs claimed in these
application(s) need not be and cannot be
considered in pending criminal appeal No.1238 of
2019, which is directed against the judgment of
the High Court relating to a contempt action
against the applicant. If the applicant so
desires, she is free to pursue appropriate remedy
before the High Court or before this Court as may
be permissible in law, which can be considered on
its own merits.
2. Applications are accordingly disposed of.
