Supreme Court Registers Contempt Plea Over KPCC Post Targeting CJI Surya Kant
The Supreme Court registered a contempt plea against the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) over a social media post targeting Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, which was later deleted. The plea also seeks to investigate an unauthorized political demonstration at the Supreme Court premises involving Rahul Gandhi. KPCC president Sunny Joseph stated the post was made without leadership consent and the responsible individual was removed. Bar associations condemned the post, viewing it as undermining judicial authority. The matter is scheduled for hearing on November 6.
