A five-judge bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justices M S Sonak, Ravindra Ghuge, Ajey Gadkari and B P Colabawalla ordered for a criminal suo motu contempt case to be registered against the advocate Nilesh Ojha and asked him to file his reply within four weeks, explaining why charges should not be framed under the Contempt of Courts Act.
