Sanjay Raut submits explanation in SC contempt case, says ‘we expect justice’

NEW DELHI: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday said he respected the Supreme Court and would continue to seek justice from it, after the apex court issued show-cause notices to him and journalist Nikhil Wagle over remarks targeting Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and the judiciary.“The Supreme Court is the highest court in the country. When it delivers a judgment, whether we agree with it or not, we say that it is the court's decision and must be respected,” Raut said in Thane.He added that if the Supreme Court or any other court believed someone's remarks amounted to contempt, it was their duty to respect the court and apologise.“But what wrong have I said? Many people have previously spoken about judges travelling to London, but it has now been revealed that the claim was false. No one had earlier clarified or explained this to you.
