The Delhi High Court will review a public interest litigation seeking contempt charges against AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, for purportedly sharing court recordings online.
The plea, filed by advocate Vaibhav Singh, argues such actions jeopardize judicial independence, contravening high court regulations by posting video content of court hearings.
Singh urges the formation of a Special Investigation Team to probe these actions as an intentional strategy to malign the court's image, pushing for removal of the unauthorized videos from social platforms.
