The Supreme Court sought responses from Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee office bearers on a petition seeking contempt action over an objectionable social media post against CJI Surya Kant.
The bench of justices Aravind Kumar and Vipul M Pancholi said it would examine whether the deleted post published by INC Keralam amounted to contempt of court.
The KPCC lawyer stated that the post was published by a media wing member without the approval of KPCC president Sunny Joseph, who later issued an unconditional apology.
