A five-judge bench of the Bombay High Court has issued a show-cause notice to Advocate Nilesh Ojha, who is representing Satish Salian, father of the late Disha Salian. Recently, Salian alleged that his daughter was gang-raped and murdered. During a press conference, Ojha made serious allegations against Justice Revati Mohite-Dere and former Chief Justice Devendra Upadhyay, who is currently the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court. The show-cause notice seeks to know why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against Ojha for making such allegations against a sitting judge and a former chief justice of the Bombay High Court.

The five-judge bench, led by Chief Justice Alok Aradhe, on Monday viewed a video of advocate Nilesh Ojha making serious allegations against sitting judges during a press conference held on April 1. The press conference was related to his demand for a fresh probe into the Disha Salian case. Ojha had filed a petition in the matter, which was listed for hearing before Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Dr Neela Gokhale on April 2.
