NDTV
The contemnor filed an appeal before a division bench seeking death penalty for the judge for her "defamatory" and "seditious" decision and also filed a police complaint seeking her prosecution.
The Delhi High Court has sentenced a man to six-month imprisonment for contempt of court after he used "derogatory language" for a sitting judge, who had dismissed his petition.
A bench headed by Justice Suresh Kumar Kait also imposed a fine of Rs 2,000 on the contemnor, Naresh Sharma, and said it was "highly shocked" by the averments made by him in his case pending before the high court.
The court said that as a responsible citizen, the contemnor was expected to set-forth his grievances in a civilised manner while maintaining the dignity of the court and judicial process of law.
