Did you make any complaint to the CJI that the record is missing?"While dismissing the plea, the bench said the petitioner was not able to explain as to how the writ petition was maintainable.In March 2019, the top court sentenced Nedumpara to three months imprisonment for contempt of court but suspended the sentence after taking note of the unconditional apology tendered by him.The apex court, which had barred the advocate from practising before it for a year, said the jail sentence will be suspended only if Nedumpara abides by the undertaking that he will never attempt to browbeat judges of the top court and the Bombay High Court.On March 12, 2019, the top court held him guilty of contempt.It had issued notice to the lawyer on the punishment to be imposed on him for committing contempt of court.The issue of contempt had cropped up when the bench was hearing a petition filed by an organisation which was represented by Nedumpara during the hearing.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
