New Delhi: The contempt of court notice, issued by Siddique Kappanâs lawyer Wills Mathews on May 9 at 1:45 am to five authorities in Uttar Pradesh government, is titled âMost Urgent: Life in Danger/Immediate Action Requiredâ, but does not fail to be civil in the manner in which it addresses the state before explaining its grounds. The five authorities in Uttar Pradesh, however, will have a hard time explaining to the Supreme Court why they failed to show similar courtesies to the court and Kappanâs wife, Raihanath Kappan, when it came to complying with the courtâs orders.
