SC to hear Modi's contempt case on Monday

The Supreme Court on Monday will hear the contempt petition against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi that was filed for Modi's statements that suggested link between the congress and the apex court.

Making an attack on the Congress after the SC's order to probe against him in post Godhra riot cases, Narendra Modi said that, the Supreme Court's order came 15 days after he was threatened by the Science and Technology Union Minister, Kapil Sibal to put him behind the bars that clearly poined out that the order was influenced by the Central Government.

However, the main point to be noted here is that, Modi and his party BJP, did not react on the day when SC ordered that a special investigation team should also inquire the role of Modi and others in post Godhra riots.

The issue was taken by advocate Prakash Bhushan who has been helping the Court,as amicus curiae in the matter of Jakia Nasim, wife of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri.

The contempt petition will be heard by a division bench of the Supreme Court that is headed by the chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan.
