Sanjay Raut trapped by making remarks on CJI! | Capital TV
The Supreme Court of India has initiated contempt of court proceedings against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Member of Parliament Sanjay Raut, along with journalist Nikhil Wagle. This judicial action comes in response to controversial public remarks made by them regarding Chief Justice Surya Kant. The apex court took serious note of these statements, viewing them as an attempt to undermine the dignity and authority of the judiciary. Notices have been formally issued, requiring both individuals to provide their official explanations regarding the remarks. Such contempt proceedings highlight the judiciary's strict stance against public commentary that questions the integrity of sitting judges and the judicial process. Further developments in the case are awaited as the court reviews their responses to determine the next legal steps.
The Supreme Court issued contempt notices to Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and journalist Nikhil Wagle over remarks against CJI Surya Kant. The notices came on an SCBA petition seeking criminal contempt. Raut had alleged judges’ proximity to politicians and later issued an apology, while the CJI-led bench said they must explain their conduct.
