Supreme Court hears plea by a senior judicial officer against contempt proceedings initiated by the Bombay High Court on the ground that he borderline shouted and blame the High Court administration for judge vacancies during court proceedings.

Bench: Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta.

Senior Advocate Vikas Singh: the problem is that the posts have been sanctioned and they have not been filled up by the High Court. I did not shout at the court. Please see the recording. I was not standing in front of the mic so I had to raise my voice just to be heard.
