The Court also took critical note that the misconduct by Sekhon and Sharma had been fanned by one Baljit Marwaha, a reporter for the Scroll Punjab News Channel on YouTube.
The bench noted that the videos uploaded on this online platform “show that the judges of this Court have been abused to the fullest” and that certain words used could not be put in the Court’s order.
Personal allegations were levelled against the Court and disparaging remarks were made as to how “judgments are being reserved and written after two months for the purposes of bargaining and buying time.” A “warning” was also sounded on the said platform that the accused would “sharpen their words in future“, the Court observed.
Hence, the Court ordered for the issuance of a bailable warrant against Marwaha, directing him to appear before the High Court on the next date of hearing.
