The contempt proceedings trace back to May 14, when Justice Sharma initiated suo motu criminal contempt action against Kejriwal and other AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and Durgesh Pathak, over what the Court described as “defamatory and vilifying” allegations circulated on social media.
In her order, Justice Sharma flagged a “coordinated campaign” involving posts, videos and public statements that questioned the integrity and impartiality of the Court.
She noted that some of the material included edited videos and allegations concerning her family members, which, according to her, were intended to undermine public confidence in the judiciary.
