Bombay High Court Issues Contempt Notice to Maharashtra Law Secretary Over Courtroom Outburst
The Bombay High Court issued a contempt notice to Maharashtra Law and Judiciary Department Secretary Dilip Ghumare following an aggressive outburst in court.

The bench described his conduct as "outrageous" and "unpardonable," stating it undermined the court's authority and scandalised the judiciary in a public setting.
