New Delhi, Oct. 9 -- A Supreme Court lawyer on Wednesday wrote to attorney general R Venkatramani seeking permission to initiate criminal contempt proceedings against the advocate who attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India BR Gavai earlier this week, terming that the action diminished the majesty and authority of the court.
In the letter - a second such request before the Centre's top law officer - advocate KR Subhash Chandran said the alleged contemnor has not shown any remorse for his action, which makes out a clear case of scandalising and lowering the top court's authority. Meanwhile, multiple FIRs were lodged in various districts of Punjab in connection to the incident.P13
