The Supreme Court agrees to hear the Centre’s contempt application connected to the appointment of Jharkhand’s Director General of Police (DGP) Tadasha Mishra. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta moves the plea before a bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, with Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana.
Multiple outlets report that the bench, after hearing the submissions, agrees to list the Centre’s application for hearing. The contempt plea is linked to the process or compliance around the state police chief’s appointment, and the Centre asks the court to take cognisance through contempt proceedings. Both reports describe the same courtroom development: Mehta’s request to have the matter heard and the bench’s decision to entertain and schedule it.
