Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's finding of contempt against RK Anand and IU Khan under clauses (ii) & (iii) of Section 2(c) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, for their involvement in a sting operation that undermined the integrity of the judicial process in the BMW hit-and-run case. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to prohibit them from appearing in the Delhi High Court and its subordinate courts for four months, while allowing them to continue other professional activities. The ruling emphasized the necessity of maintaining the dignity of the court and the legal profession.
