contempt of court-doubtful danda

In this corrupt bureaucracy and elected representatives caucus, public has to look towards judiciary. However they are not still certain that there are no wheels within wheels, when "strange illogical, biased" orders that "seem" to favor high and mighty appear regularly. Innumerable instances galore, where judges themselves have knowingly violated law seriously eroding public faith in judiciary. Under these ground realities, it is for the judiciary to prove that they are beyond reproach. When Sirajuddin Basha rightly or wrongly was apprehensive about Justice Patil- was he in any way involved with any of the parties?- it would have been more appropriate to just transfer it to another judge, instead of waving the doubtful danda of contempt of court.
