SC defers contempt hearing as Justice Karnan does not appear
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday deferred for three weeks a hearing on contempt proceedings against Calcutta High Court judge Justice C.S. Karnan as he did not appear before the court as directed. A seven-judge constitution bench directed the next hearing on March 10, noting that “we are not aware of the reasons for non-appearance” of Karnan, said: “We refrain from proceeding in the matter as of now.” The order came even as Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi told the court that under the Supreme Court Rules it was mandatory for Karnan to appear. Rohatgi who is assisting the court in the matter urged the bench to frame a charge and asked Karnan to respond to them on the next date of hearing. “Frame a charge today (Monday). Record that you (Justice Karnan) have not appeared and showcause him on the charge,” Rohatgi told the bench. As Rohatgi tried to focus on Karnan’s non-appearance pointing out that the tone of his communication to the Registrar General of the apex court was no different from his earlier ones, the bench said:”The letter doesn’t say he can’t appear. He says that he has not been granted time.” The Supreme Court had issued the contempt notice on February 8.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
