The Supreme Court issued contempt notice to Suraz India Trust Chairman Rajiv Daiya for filing 62 petitions without any success and scandalizing the Court Admin Tue, Jul 13, 2021, at ,02:45 PM The Supreme Court has issued a contempt notice to the chairperson of an NGO as to why he should not be proceeded against and sentenced for his endeavor to scandalize the court. The Supreme court had in February issued bailable warrants against the chairperson of NGO Suraz India Trust, Rajiv Daiya, for not depositing the cost of Rs 25 lakh for filing 64 PILs over the years without any success and "repeatedly misusing" the Supreme Court's. In 2017, a three-Judge bench headed by the then Chief Justice of India, J.S.Khehar, had imposed an exemplary cost of Rs.25 lakh on the NGO, Suraz India Trust, for filing frivolous petitions, and wasting judicial time, and restrained the trust and its chairman, Rajiv Daiya, from filing any case, including PIL, in any court. The supreme court had also said such practices have to be dealt with sternly to prevent misuse of the courts by such individuals "who have nothing to do but only cast scandalous and imaginary aspersions".
