'Digraceful Order', 'Dimwitted Judges': Kerala AG Sanctions Contempt Proceedings Against K Sudhakaran For Remarks On HC Murder Judgment

Live Law  

On Friday, Advocate General CP Sudhakara Prasad accorded sanction to a petition seeking the initiation of contempt proceedings against Indian National Congress leader K Sudhakaran for his comments regarding a High Court judgment in a murder case. According to news reports, the politician, speaking in Kannur, termed the Kerala High Court Division Bench judgment as "മ്ലേച്ചമായ വിധി" and made derogatory remarks about the judges who comprised the Bench, going to the extent of questioning their intellectual abilities. After a Single Judge had directed a CBI Inquiry into the death of Shuhaib, the Division Bench had set aside the ruling in 2018, which was followed by proceedings in the Supreme Court. The order for CBI probe issued by single judge Justice B Kemal Pasha within three weeks of the crime was termed as a 'hasty direction' by the division bench.
