New Delhi: CPM leader M V Jayarajan who made the `sumbhan' remark
against High Court judges in the state, was given 4 weeks jail term by
the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court Friday upheld the conviction of M.V. Jayarajan for calling state high court judges 'idiots', but reduced the sentence from six months to four weeks. An apex court bench headed by Justice Vikramajit Sen upheld Jayarajan's conviction holding that he has no remorse for his utterances against high court judges.
The Supreme Court criticised in sharpest terms the 'sumbhan' remark and observed that it was unwanted. The Supreme Court had the other day said that Jayarajan's remarks were derogatory to the judiciary and he was not willing to withdraw it nor apologise for the remark.
Jayarajan's counsel said that it was not the judges but the judgement that his comment was aimed at and the controversy regarding the comment was a creation by media. When the court sought to know if Jayarajan was ready to offer apology his counsel said he had not received any such instruction.
The high court taking suo moto cognisance of his utterances convicted him for contempt and awarded his six months imprisonment in 2010
However, he was granted bail by the apex court after serving a week in jail.
