Thursday, September 15, 2011: A contempt of court petition was filed on Thursday before a special Court here against Government Chief Whip PC George alleging that he had defamed judiciary through his remarks. The petition was filed by advocate Balachandran, a resident of Kowdiar. The petition points out that PC George had criticized judges through his statements made at press conferences and TV shows
The Court would hear on the plea tomorrow. Recently, in a letter send to President Pratibha Devisingh Patel, Governor and Supreme Court Chief Justice, George alleged that the Vigilance judge had ordered a probe into the case without following the usual procedures.
The judge was deliberately trying to make Chief Minister Oommen Chandy an accused in the case, the letter alleged. George’s action has apparently embarrassed the Congress leadership.
