SC Bar Association files criminal contempt plea against Sanjay Raut, Nikhil Wagle
Attorney General R Venkataramani has since granted consent to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against the two under the Contempt of Courts Act. The statements came after Chief Justice of India (CJI) declined a request last week from a delegation of opposition parties to meet him in person. The CJI said the delegation could instead file a petition before the court.
Contempt Petition Against Nikhil Wagle and Sanjay Raut: The issue of comments on the Chief Justice has reached the Supreme Court. A petition has been filed against Nikhil Wagle and Sanjay Raut.
Criminal Contempt Petition: SCBA takes strong action against those accused of defaming the judiciary. The Supreme Court Bar Association has filed a criminal contempt petition against Sanjay Raut and Nikhil Wagle for their comments against the CJI.
SCBA says that the statements made by these people have been made deliberately and thoughtfully, so that the image of the Supreme Court can be tarnished and its dignity can be reduced.
