The Supreme Court on November 6 issued contempt notices to office-bearers of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) over a controversial social media post targeting Chief Justice of India Surya Kant. A bench comprising Justices Aravind Kumar and Vipul M Pancholi stressed that the Constitution is supreme and judicial independence cannot be compromised. The court stated that freedom of expression cannot justify intimidation or interference with justice, warning that attempts to undermine judicial authority must be dealt with firmly. The Congress party deleted the post and issued an unconditional apology, claiming it was published without leadership approval. (PC: ANI)
