New Delhi: Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai should not be prosecuted for contempt, the attorney general has said, rejecting requests to file a case against the television news anchor for tweets that were accused of criticising the Supreme Court.
Attorney General KK Venugopal's office had received a request to begin contempt proceedings against Mr Sardesai for his comments on the Supreme Court ruling that found senior advocate Prashant Bhushan guilty of contempt last month.
The petitioner had reportedly mentioned a number of tweets by the journalist on the day the court fined Mr Bhushan Rs 1 for his social media posts on the judiciary and the Chief Justice.
