Supreme Court to hear contempt plea on curbs today

New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on Sunday a plea seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against authorities for alleged violation of the court's direction to ensure no complete prohibition on metro and trains services in Delhi due to the CJP protest. According to the cause list, the plea would come up for hearing before a bench of justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana.

The plea, filed by advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi, has arrayed Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation chairperson D Thara as respondents. "This brutal assault on the fundamental rights of the citizens and sheer disregard to the orders of this court amounts to deliberate, intentional attempt on the part of Delhi Metro, Delhi Police and the Union government which must be dealt with an iron hand," the plea, filed through advocate Chand Qureshi, said.
