Contempt Case: Kerala High Court Directs Issuance Of Non-Bailable Warrant For Arrest Of 'V4 Kochi' President Nipun Cherian

Live Law  

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday directed the issuance of a non-bailable warrant to the District Police Chief, Ernakulam, for the arrest and production of 'V4 Kochi' President Nipun Cherian, against whom a contempt case has been initiated by the court for his statements against a sitting judge of Kerala High Court. Their restraint stems from the nobility that they possess.” During the last date of hearing on 08.02.2023, the Registrar General had informed the court that Cherian had arrived at the High Court premises the day of the hearing and had insisted on entering the building with some of his party colleagues. In this regard court today observed that: “Such conduct on the part of litigants entering the premises of this hallowed institution, and especially from one who is already facing trial for criminal contempt of this Court, is wholly unacceptable and will not be countenanced under any circumstances.” The High Court had initiated suo motu contempt proceedings against Cherian in November 2022, stating that the speech made by him "is contumacious, and made with an intention to tarnish the integrity of the Honourable Judge". While expressing displeasure at the conduct of Cherian, facing trial for contempt of court, the court also observed today that: “It is only when confronted with comments or remarks that go well beyond personal attacks, and have the propensity to defame or lower the esteem of the judicial institution itself, that they respond swiftly with the only weapon in their judicial armoury – the proceedings for contempt of court.
