The court is considering initiating contempt proceedings against a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) for violating a previous court order. The previous order directed that marriage officers should not send notices to applicants' residences when processing applications under the Special Marriages Act, as this could jeopardize marriage plans or endanger lives. However, the respondent SDM sent notices to the residence of an applicant, in violation of these directions. The court has issued a notice to the SDM to explain why contempt proceedings should not be initiated for obstructing justice and disobeying the court.
