Jharkhand High Court Registers Contempt Case
The Jharkhand High Court registered a suo motu criminal contempt case against advocate Mahesh Tiwari after a viral video showed him in a heated exchange with Judge Justice Rajesh Kumar.
"I can argue in my own way, not in your way in which you say. Don't try to humiliate any advocate, I am telling you. Sir, please don't try to humiliate any person. Don't try to humiliate any advocate. You know a lot, you have become a judge; We don't know, we are lawyers. Please, don't cross the limit. I have already practiced for the last 40 years."
A video of the hearing, streamed live on YouTube, went viral on social media, prompting the court to take action.
