Protests held in Mysuru against attack on CJI

In a letter addressed to the Centre’s top law officer, advocate KR Subhash Chandran said that even after the incident that took place on Monday, the alleged contemnor has not shown any remorse for his action, which makes out a clear case of scandalising and lowering the top court’s authority.

“It is submitted that the most contemptuous act of the contemnor diminishes the majesty and authority of the Supreme Court and defeats the Constitution of India,” he said.

This is the second such request before Venkatramani. On Tuesday, social activist Suraj Kumar Bauddh wrote to the Attorney General seeking permission to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against YouTuber Ajeet Bharti and religious preacher Aniruddhacharya alias Aniruddh Ram Tiwari for making inflammatory remarks against the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai.
