SC to hear today plea for action against lawyers

The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear on Friday a plea seeking contempt action against three lawyers who were allegedly caught on camera “bragging and boasting” that they had beaten up JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and others, including journalists, in a court complex. “Let it be listed tomorrow before the Bench concerned,” a Bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice U U Lalit said when lawyer Prashant Bhushan sought urgent hearing of the matter filed by another advocate Kamini Jaiswal on the issue.
