New Delhi: The Supreme Court will pronounce its order on Friday on a batch of petitions seeking the initiation of criminal contempt proceedings against comedian Kunal Kamra for his tweets on the apex court.
The pleas came up for hearing on Thursday before a bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan which heard the submissions of advocate Nishant R. Katneshwarkar, who appeared for one of the petitioners, and claimed that Kamra had posted several tweets “scandalous” to the judiciary.
