The Calcutta Weekly Notes December 10 1951

The learned Chief Justice held that the letter did not tend “directly to interfere with the decision in the suit or in a ny proceedings connected therewith and further did not interfere indirectly with the due course of justice by reason of scandalising the learned Judge or loweing the dignity and prestige of the Judge and the Court “. Chakravartti J. with considerable cogency and logic point [...] “It appears to be intolerable and outrageous that an attorney acting in a pending snit whose conduct has been judicially comented on should subject the Judge to private correspondence on the merits of the remarks and invite him to join in it for the purpose of settling the matter privately and amicably. [...] In regard to the Sudan in especial the provisions of the condominium Were such as to place the actual rule in the hands of Britain and Egypt's share in the administration was only nominal. [...] The King of Egypt has been proclaimed under the latest act of the Egyptian Paliament to be king of the Sudan as well and newly appointed diplomatic represetatives not properly accredited to the King of Egypt and the Sudan are not being permitted to present their credentials. [...] Time the American magazine has written that British troops in Egypt are the key to British power in the Middle East" and the London Observer has said frankly that the Suez Canal is "the main artery" of the British Empire and therefore Britain "cannot give it up either now or in 1956".
