Jharkhand High Court Registers Contempt Case
The Jharkhand High Court registered a suo motu criminal contempt case against advocate Mahesh Tiwari following a heated exchange with Justice Rajesh Kumar in open court.

A video of the hearing, streamed live on YouTube, went viral on social media, prompting the court to take action.
Advocate Tiwari has been practicing law for 40 years.
