SC dismisses Jaiswal's plea seeking CoC against lawyers

New Delhi, Jan 24: The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed senior apex court lawyer Kamini Jaiswal's plea seeking to initiate contempt of court against three lawyers for allegedly violating the court order and allegedly assaulting many journalists while a case was being heard by a lower court against ex-JNU President Kanhaiya Kumar in 2016.

A division bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi, dismissed the petition filed by Jaiswal.
"Petition is dismissed and we don't find any ground for initiation of contempt proceedings against the accused persons," the bench of the top court today said in its order.
The apex court passed the order after hearing a petition filed by Jaiswal, seeking investigation and initiation of contempt proceedings against the three lawyers who had allegedly assaulted many journalists while a case was being heard by the Patiala House Court against the former Jawaharlal Nehru University, President, Kanhaiya Kumar, in 2016. UNI
