SHILLONG: The High Court of Meghalaya has given another opportunity to the five HYC members to file supplementary affidavits in connection with a contempt of court case which was filed against them when they had resorted to sloganeering on the court premises last year when principal contemnor Adelbert Nongrum was due to appear in the court.
Nongrum and the five HYC members were present in the court on Thursday.
The matter has been fixed for hearing on September 23.
The case was taken by the High Court following contempt of court by Nongrum after he criticized the December 14, 2014 order of Justice SR Sen related to the headmen.
During the hearing of the case related to contemptuous remarks by the former KHADC CEM on January 27, 2015, the High Court had ordered a CBI inquiry on the mayhem created by people who were shouting slogans outside the court premises. The CBI report had named the five HYC members as those responsible for the mayhem.
On Thursday, senior counsel VK Jindal, appearing for the CBI, submitted that a prima facie case on the basis of the report of the CBI was made out against the five persons, later on noticed by the Court. Senior government advocate ND Chullai, submitted that even the affidavits filed by these persons cannot be treated as categorical and unconditional apology.
Following a request from K. Paul, counsel for the HYC members, the Court gave them another opportunity to file supplementary affidavits.
