New Delhi: The Supreme Court, on Thursday reserved the order in a plea seeking criminal contempt proceedings against comedian Kunal Kamra for scandalising the apex court through his tweets. A bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan and comprising Justices R Subhash Reddy and MR Shah is likely to decide on the criminal proceedings against Kamra on Friday.
In November, Attorney General KK Venugopal gave consent to initiate contempt against the stand-up comedian after a plea petition was moved in the apex court by law students Shrirang Katneshwarkar, Nitika Duhan, and advocates Amey Abhay Sirsikar, Abhishek Sharan Raskar, and Sattyendra Vinayak Muley seeking criminal contempt proceedings against Kamra.
