Servant apart from the fact that he has chosen to interpret the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 24.09.2021. In fact, the letter of the Inspector-in-Charge, Panskura Police Station does not mention anywhere that he was in any doubt with regard to the language of the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court or that he had tried to seek instructions from the Deputy Superintendent of Police (HQ) or from any other higher authority. The letter also does not show that the Officer-in-Charge, Panskura Police Station had sought legal opinion with reference to the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. In fact we find that he is straightway informing the Deputy Superintendent of Police that “ the door of Biswanath Bani Mill Proprietor Dipak Kumar Das was opened” under the order of the Hon’Ble Supreme Court of India vide Civil Appeal No.4761 of 2021. The language of the letter of the Inspector-in-Charge, Panskura Police Station clearly shows that it is a unilateral act on his part and that, prima facie, he has acted in order to aid and facilitate the opening of the Biswanath Bani Mill (Respondent No.6 herein) quite against the various orders to close the Mill already on record and thus, the Inspector-in-Charge has rendered himself open to disciplinary proceedings for gross misconduct. Interpreting an order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court and that too misinterpreting it to read something into the order which was never intended by the Court, not only constitutes, prima facie, contempt of the Court but amounts to gross misconduct.
