SC Bar Association files criminal contempt plea against Sanjay Raut, Nikhil Wagle

Attorney General R Venkataramani has since granted consent to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against the two under the Contempt of Courts Act. The statements came after Chief Justice of India (CJI) declined a request last week from a delegation of opposition parties to meet him in person. The CJI said the delegation could instead file a petition before the court.
