The Delhi High Court sentenced Gulshan Pahuja to six months’ imprisonment and a Rs 2,000 fine for criminal contempt, observing that he showed “no regret,” continued making scandalous submissions against the judiciary, and was “neither repentant nor deserving of any mercy.”
Justice G.R. Swaminathan heard contempt proceedings over alleged non-compliance in the Thirupparankundram Deepam matter, with officials saying prohibitory orders were only to control crowds. The Madras High Court granted time to the District Collector to file an additional affidavit and adjourned the case to March 2.
