Attorney General K K Venugopal Thursday granted consent for initiation of contempt proceedings against stand-up comic artist Kunal Kamra for his tweets which allegedly criticised the Supreme Court.
:The tweets which I am extracting below are not only in bad taste but clearly cross the line between humour and contempt of the court:, said Venugopal in his letter to one of the applicants who had sought consent of the top law officer for initiation of contempt proceedings against Kamra.
:I therefore grant consent to proceed by way of initiating contempt proceedings against Kunal Kamra,: Venugopal said in his letter.
