The main topic of the \u2018cultural event\u2019 organised was judicial killing of Afzal Guru which outright tantamounts to criminal contempt as the respondents are calling the judges of the apex court as killers who have been projected to have committed judicial killing of Afzal Guru,\u201d the plea said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfzal and Yakub Memon were no martyrs as projected by the group of students of JNU. The Supreme Court has already passed a detailed judgment in both cases after giving due consideration as per law after going through the evidence,\u201d it further said.<\/p>\n<p>Pamphlets were allegedly distributed during the &#8220;so- called&#8221; cultural event held at JNU on February 9 that termed death sentence to Guru and Maqbool Bhatt as \u201cjudicial killing\u201d, the plea said.<\/p>\n<p>The students, who organised the event, also used social media platforms and &#8220;tarnished&#8221; the image of Supreme Court, it alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Kanhaiya and Gilani, the plea has sought contempt action against Umar Khalid, Lenin Kumar, Anirban Bhattacharya, Shehla Rashid Shora and Ali Javed.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court has agreed to hear\u00a0 a plea seeking contempt action against jailed Jawaharlal Nehru University Students\u2019 Union President Kanhaiya Kumar, former Delhi University lecturer SAR Gilani and a few others on the grounds that they allegedly termed the execution of Afzal Guru as a\u00a0 \u201cjudicial killing\u201d.
