Supreme Court Bench headed by CJI rejects a PIL which sought direction from the Court for implementation of laws against Contempt of Court.

CJI: This is like you're saying that Court should pass an injunction that there should not be rapes and murders.

CJI Bobde: We are in full agreement that there should be no contempt of Court.... But, we cannot pass orders like this.

This is unnecessary. There is a law in place then why should we pass orders saying law should be followed?
