Supreme Court order to refer contempt of court case to larger full bench

 The Supreme Court has ordered that the contempt of court case against dotcom be submitted to a full bench.

The Supreme Court has written an opinion that the case related to the freedom of thought and expression has already been decided by a 7-member bench and that the dispute should be decided by a bench consisting of more judges.

Judge Dr. The bench of Kumar Chudal and Vinod Sharma has ordered that this case be presented to the Director Committee of the Court, saying that it would be appropriate to hear it from a bench consisting of more judges.

In the Supreme Court, five or more judges are included in the full bench. Earlier, the contempt of court case filed by advocate Toyanath Dahal against Kantipur Publications was decided by a full bench consisting of 7 judges.

The bench that heard the contempt of court case against Serkakara.com has asked to consider the structure of the bench formed in the case against Kantipur and send it to a bench with more judges.

This case has been ordered to be sent to the full court for a concrete and appropriate explanation of the long-term importance of factual and truthful opinion and freedom of expression and freedom of publication during the judgment.

According to the scientific test report, the video clip broadcasted by Sarakkura.com is self-created and fabricated, and the Supreme Court has said that the controversy of defamation of judges, legal professionals, and respected persons in the media sector should be resolved.

It is said in the public order on Wednesday, "... it seems imperative to address the possible punishments and compensations for actions or publications or broadcasts and expressions of opinions that may cause serious harm to the reputation."

The order passed by the joint bench on May 30 was made public on Wednesday.
