S.K. Sundaram vs Unknown

The Supreme Court reiterated that contempt of court jurisdiction is aimed at protecting the administration of justice rather than individual judges, referencing the case of Supreme Court Bar Association v. Union of India. The Court found that the telegram sent by S.K. Sundaram, which accused the Chief Justice of India of various offences under Sections 420, 406, 466, 468, and 471 IPC, constituted gross contempt of court. Consequently, the Court issued a notice to the contemnor, affirming the need to uphold the dignity of the judiciary.
