The Jharkhand High Court dismissed the suo motu criminal contempt case against advocate Mahesh Tiwari after he apologised for his heated exchange with Justice Rajesh Kumar. The Court said its shoulders were broad enough and adopted a lenient view.
The Supreme Court fined a Gujarat police officer Rs 25,000 and accepted the judicial magistrate’s unconditional apology in a contempt case involving a wrongful arrest and remand in violation of a bail order. The court criticized the officials’ actions and emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law. Despite pleas for leniency, the court maintained a firm stance.
