The Delhi High Court framed criminal contempt charges against a Delhi advocate for scandalous allegations in court and a similar LinkedIn post. The court said he lowered its authority and interfered with judicial proceedings by uploading the post.
P. S. Raman declined consent to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against retired D. Hariparanthaman over remarks on sitting judge G. R. Swaminathan.
