Yesterday Mr Yeddiyurappa called judge of high court (indirectly without naming) mad for making statement to close KIADB for its involvement in corrupt activity. Does this statement amounted to criminal contempt? The judge has made only comment before pronouncing any judgement is it a obiter dicta? Whether any obiter dicta can be condemned by those words?

Definitely it is criminal contempt undermining the judiciary.

Don't believe on the news paper publications. News paper is not a document to prove any offence.

Coincidently our Apex Court has passed adverse opinion about Judges of Allahabad High Court. That needs to be taken seriously at par with that of the published statement by a Chief Minister which attaches absolute legal validity and cannot be challenged.

Agree with Khaleel, I would like to add the material can be asked from the publisher of the News paper by the Court, in case, any case is instituted.
