In June 2020, the Supreme Court of India stayed the proceedings (temporarily halted judicial proceedings) after the defendant argued that the issue did not fall within the jurisdiction of the West Bengal government. In December 2021, the West Bengal government told the court that they had chosen to withdraw the complaint, which was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
contempt of court case
In 2021, former Attorney General KK Venugopal agreed to take legal action against YouTuber Ajeet Bharti. Bhatti was accused of making disrespectful and derogatory comments about the Supreme Court and its judges in a video posted on YouTube. The former attorney general issued a statement saying that Bhatti’s video, viewed by approximately 170,000 people, contained offensive language aimed at disparaging the Supreme Court and the entire judiciary. Bhatti’s allegations against the Supreme Court in the video include bribery, favoritism and abuse of power. A lawyer named Kritika Singh initially tried to file a contempt of court case against Bharti due to the derogatory remarks and accusations he made in the video. The former attorney general said Bhatti, as an educated man, should have been aware that his comments could lead to contempt charges, especially since he mentioned contempt multiple times in the video. Venugopal also argued that Bhatti’s remarks could undermine the court’s authority in the public eye and impede the administration of justice.
