Rouse Avenue Court has referred a complainant to the High Court for criminal contempt proceedings in a high-profile CBI case dating back to 1994. The case involves former Punjab DGP Sumedh Singh Saini and other police officers.

Special CBI Judge Sunena Sharma made the reference against Ashish Kumar, who leveled severe allegations against judicial officers, claiming he had no faith in the court. Kumar accused the court of bias, stating he had no hope of justice and alleging improper conduct by the judicial officers.

Despite repeated cautions to maintain decorum, Kumar continued to behave disruptively, accusing the court system of being compromised. In response, Judge Sharma stated that Kumar's conduct was scandalous and a direct attack on the justice system, prompting the criminal contempt reference to the Delhi High Court.
