If the judge knows that a man is stubborn against his opponent, does he have the right to punish him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the judge knows that a man is stubborn against his opponent, does he have the right to punish him?

The Shaykh : Yes, he has the right to order his discretionary punishment and imprisonment if it becomes apparent that he is as you described, so that the judge is not made to suffer and the people testify, and so that he does not perhaps transgress against those of status and rank.
