Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Friday issued show-cause notices to stand up comedian Kunal Kamra and cartoonist Rachita Taneja, on separate petitions seeking initiation of contempt of court proceedings against them for allegedly denigrating judiciary and judges. Stand up comedian Kunal Kamra refused to apologise for his tweets and said they only stated his take on the Supreme Court of India making a “partial” decision. The controversy erupted on November 11, when Kamra posted a series of tweets “mocking” the top court, Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and justice DY Chandrachud, following which law student Skand Bajpai wrote to Attorney General KK Venugopal, seeking his consent that contempt proceedings be initiated against Kamra. Kamra refused to apologise for his tweets and said they only stated his take on the Supreme Court of India making a “partial” decision.
