Oza had levelled certain allegations of corruption against the Court registry in an online interview.

Taking cognizance of his statements, a suo motu contempt case was registered by the High Court.

Aggrieved, Oza moved the Supreme Court for relief.

Hearing begins

Advocate Nikhil Goel tells the Court that the contempt matter is yet to be heard by the Gujarat High Court since Yatin Oza wants to argue on the point of truth.

"How apology and truth go together, the Court will have to see".

Supreme Court notes that the matter is listed for hearing before the Gujarat High Court tomorrow.

As such, SC will take up the matter next on October 13.
