Contempt of Court – Others

Delhi HC directs removal of social media posts accusing sitting Judge in Saket collapse case

The Delhi High Court on Monday directed major social media platforms to remove videos and posts containing allegations against a sitting High Court judge in connection with the recent Saket building collapse, observing that such content appeared aimed at scandalising the judiciary and could not be allowed to remain online indefinitely. A division bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna and Justice Madhu Jain passed the direction while hearing a criminal contempt petition filed by the Delhi High Court Bar Association against one Dr. Kapil Kakar, who had uploaded a series of videos and posts following the Saket tragedy.
