Supreme Court issues contempt notices to Raut, Wagle over CJI comments

The Supreme Court of India has issued contempt notices to two political figures, Raut and Wagle, after they made public comments concerning the Chief Justice of India. The notices were served as part of the court's effort to enforce respect for the judiciary and curb statements it deems contemptuous. Both individuals are expected to appear before the court to answer the allegations, and any further non‑compliance could lead to stricter penalties. The development underscores the apex court's willingness to intervene when remarks are perceived to undermine the authority of the highest judicial office. No additional details about the content of the remarks or the timeline for hearings have been disclosed publicly.
