Today, April 23, the Bombay High Court convicted a woman under charge of criminal contempt of court after she called the court "dog mafia" and made "objectionable" comments against the court. It is reported that the woman identified as Vineeta Srinandan also made objectionable comments against the judges over their order in favour of dog feeders. The case pertains to an ongoing dispute between a Navi Mumbai-based society and dog feeders. According to a report in LiveLaw, the division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Advait Sethna had issued a show cause notice to Srinandan, a resident of the plush Seawoods Estate society in Navi Mumbai, who had circulated a letter making "objectionable and derogatory" comments against the Supreme Court as well as the HC after the Bombay High Court passed an order against the society for disallowing house help of one of the residents to enter the society, as she fed stray dogs in the premises. While announcing the order, the judges of the high court said, "We will not accept the Crocodile tears and the routine sorry mantra, usually made by the contemnors in such cases." The Bombay HC has sent the woman to one week of simple imprisonment and has also imposed a fine of INR 2,000. ‘Human Teeth Not a Dangerous Weapon Which Would Cause Serious Harm’: Bombay High Court Quashes FIR Against Woman Accused of Biting Sister-in-Law.
