#SupremeCourt: We’ve looked at the subsequent affidavit. We refuse to back off and we must take it to a logical conclusion. We are of the view that the contemnor is guilty of contempt of court.
#SupremeCourt: The only question is whether he has a right to be heard. We would still give them one chance.
#SupremeCourt: We consider it appropriate to list the Petition for final.. In view of our order passed today, let notice be issued to the contemnor to remain present in the Court for hearing on sentence.
#SupremeCourt: Matter will be listed on 7th of October.

Senior Advocate Manish Singhvi: We are proceeding with disciplinary enquiry. That’s all.

SG: It is the duty of executive to implement it

SC: if we encroached then you will say we trespassed into executive domain. This has ramifications.. there are grievances which can be addressed. But this cannot be a perpetual problem.

#POCSOAct #SupremeCourt
Attorney General KK Venugopal: According to me, the Court has misinterpreted Section 7 of the #POCSOAct.
