The Delhi High Court initiated contempt proceedings against a lawyer for making allegations of a ‘corrupt judiciary.’ The court described the claims as reckless, contemptuous, and scandalous, emphasizing that such statements undermine the integrity of the judicial system.
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.
