Supreme Court Sends Contempt Notices to Kerala Congress Leaders Over CJI Post

The Supreme Court of India has served contempt notices to several leaders of the Kerala unit of the Congress party. The notices were issued in response to a social media post that criticized or questioned the conduct of the Chief Justice of India. The court described the content as potentially undermining the dignity of the judiciary and invoked its contempt powers. The affected leaders have been asked to appear before the court and may face penalties if the matter is not resolved. This action underscores the judiciary's stance on protecting its institutional integrity against perceived disparagement.
