HC orders contempt proceedings in Iskcon case

Hearing the petition, Justice Manjula Chellur directed the registry to initiate contempt proceedings against Madhu Pandit Dasa, Iskcon’s president, and Jaya Chaitanya and four advocates S K Chalapathi, Ramesh Babu, V H Ron and A Maruthi.

During the hearing of the matter relating to the dispute between Iskcon, Bangalore, and Iskcon, Mumbai, an anonymous letter stating that Justice K L Manjunath should not hear the matter had created a furore in the Court.
