This query is : Resolved
Please inform me whether the Hon'ble CAT has the power to initiate criminal proceedings against the party if it has proved that the same act or ommission was done with malfide intention in order to cause irreparable loss to the applicant?
If not shall the applicant has the right to move to the Metropolitian court for leying charges once the judgement by the Hon'ble court goes in his favour

CAT has the power to punish for contempt of its orders. If it is found that there is a contempt of its orders, it can issue charge either for production of the contemner or to punish him, under Sec 17 of AT Act.
