Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for contempt of court under Section 2(c) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, affirming the High Court's finding that the appellant's allegations against a judge were baseless and intended to scandalize the court. The Court emphasized that such actions obstruct the administration of justice and warrant punishment. The appeal was dismissed, and the three-month imprisonment sentence was upheld.
