M.B. SANGHI, ADVOCATE vs HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AND ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's finding of contempt against the appellant under Section 2(c)(i) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, for making disparaging remarks about a Sub-Judge, which were deemed to undermine public confidence in the judiciary. The Court emphasized that the appellant's apology was insincere, as he had a history of contemptuous language towards judges. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision and the need for ethical standards in the legal profession.
