Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a contempt application regarding a dharna held by the respondents outside the Court, where they allegedly shouted slogans questioning the integrity of the judiciary. The Court noted that while the respondents admitted to the dharna, they denied any wrongdoing, asserting their right to protest against a judgment concerning the Narmada dam. The Court emphasized the importance of maintaining respect for judicial authority while recognizing the right to dissent, ultimately deciding to issue notices to the respondents for their defense.
