Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the contempt proceedings initiated by Ajay Kumar Pandey against various judicial officers and advocates under Sections 499 and 500 IPC. The Court held that the language used in the petitions was objectionable and unworthy of a legal practitioner, emphasizing that the aim of such proceedings appeared to be harassment rather than legitimate legal recourse. Consequently, the Court dismissed the Special Leave Petitions and contempt petitions, reinforcing the principle that the judiciary must not be subjected to baseless allegations intended to malign its members.
