The Delhi High Court issued notice to journalist Saurav Das and Gopal Rai in a contempt petition alleging a coordinated campaign against Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, while clubbing the matter with ongoing suo motu contempt proceedings involving other AAP leaders.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta urged the Delhi High Court to initiate contempt action against Arvind Kejriwal over recusal pleas. He termed allegations unfounded, stressing institutional respect and warning that yielding would set a harmful precedent for judicial independence.
Senior Advocates Kapil Sibal, AM Singhvi, Arvind Datar and KK Venugopal urged the Supreme Court to close the long-pending contempt case against Yatin Oza. They argued that Oza has already faced enough punishment and his repeated apologies should be accepted to restore normalcy.
