The Delhi High Court, in a ruling delivered by Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja, underscored that any allegations challenging a judge's integrity must be substantiated with cogent evidence. This ruling came during a suo motu contempt petition against a YouTuber and two advocates for making scandalous remarks about the judiciary, including unproven allegations of bias. The court stated that such unfounded attacks erode the authority of judicial officers and hinder the fair delivery of justice. While the two advocates were let off after expressing genuine apologies for their involvement, the YouTuber defended his comments as part of public interest advocacy. However, the court found him guilty of criminal contempt, highlighting that his intent was to scandalize the judiciary rather than foster a constructive debate. The court has scheduled a hearing regarding the sentencing for May 12.
