Trust in judiciary can't be frittered away by show of power: SC The Supreme Court said it was shocked by the Allahabad High Court order, which summoned Uttar Pradesh government officers in a contempt case, despite the proceedings having been stayed by it. | 8 April 2021 1:13 AM GMT NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court said it was shocked by the Allahabad High Court order, which summoned Uttar Pradesh government officers in a contempt case, despite the proceedings having been stayed by it. A bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Hemant Gupta said: "The frequent, causal and lackadaisical summoning of high officials by the Court cannot be appreciated. We may add that this does not mean that in compelling situations, the same cannot be done but the object cannot be to humiliate senior officials."
