Supreme Court Summons Sanjay Raut In Person, Nikhil Wagle Virtually in Contempt Case
The Supreme Court has directed Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut to appear in person on November 17 in contempt proceedings over his remarks about Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and the judiciary. Journalist Nikhil Wagle, who also faces contempt charges, will appear virtually after tendering an unconditional apology and deleting his posts. The case, initiated by the Supreme Court Bar Association, raises concerns about respect for the judiciary. Raut has confirmed his attendance, while the court emphasized the matter's significance to the entire judicial institution.
