CJP leader Ratna Singh is set to face contempt proceedings after social media posts targeting a judge of the Saket District Court. According to multiple outlets, the Delhi government has given consent to initiate contempt action over remarks that question judicial conduct and reference an unidentified “master.”
The reports say Singh’s posts alleged that a judge, along with the Delhi Police, were acting under orders from this “master.” Outlets describe the matter as falling within the category of contempt, while also indicating the government’s position that there is a boundary between permissible criticism and actions that may undermine judicial authority.
While the core facts are consistent across coverage—posts about the Saket magistrate and government consent to proceed—the framing differs. Some outlets focus on the contempt charge itself, others on the legal step of granting consent, and others describe how the government distinguishes criticism from undermining the judiciary.
