AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj has urged the CJI to take suo motu contempt action against Delhi CM Rekha Gupta over her alleged “set judge” remark. He claimed the statement attempts to defame the judiciary and weaken public trust in the courts.
The Supreme Court of India annulled the Delhi High Court’s review of a contempt ruling, deeming it legally impermissible. It upheld a single judge’s finding of “intentional and malafide” disobedience regarding a contempt case. The Supreme Court emphasized that such rulings must be respected and cannot be reviewed without proper legal grounds.
