Calcutta HC orders contempt case over offensive remarks on judiciary during SSC protest

The Calcutta High Court took swift action on Monday in response to contemptuous remarks made during a protest outside senior advocate Vikas Ranjan Bhattacharya's chambers. The protest occurred on Friday, where candidates opposing the higher primary school teacher recruitment process gathered. The protestors' comments were deemed offensive to the judiciary, leading to calls for legal action from the legal community.

In its ruling, the bench, led by Chief Justice T.S. Shivganan and Justice Chaitali Chattopadhyay, granted permission for a contempt of court case to be filed against those responsible. The court also directed the police to identify the individuals involved. This marks a clear stance by the judiciary against any behavior that undermines the respect and dignity of the court and its judges.

The incident prompted several members of the legal fraternity, including the Bar Association, to request immediate contempt proceedings. The High Court's decision to address the matter emphasizes its commitment to protecting the integrity of the judicial system and maintaining public respect for the legal process.
