Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a contempt case against Rashid Khan Pathan and others for making derogatory remarks against judges. The court found no remorse from the contemnors and imposed a sentence of three months' simple imprisonment along with a fine. The enforcement of the sentence was deferred due to the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing a sixteen-week period before it would take effect.
