Attorney General K.K. Venugopal

RTI activist Saket Gokhale has written to Attorney General K.K. Venugopal seeking his sanction to initiate contempt of court proceedings against former Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi for insulting the Supreme Court and for scandalizing and attempting to lower its dignity.

The CJI said this during arguments in the case examining the threat posed by high-tension powerlines in Rajasthan to birds such as the endangered Great Indian Bustard and similar other birds.
