SCs contempt notice sent to Giriraj Kishore didnt reach him in 20 years NEW DELHI: This is unbelievable yet true - the Supreme Courts contempt notice seeking personal presence of one of the most visible Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders, Giriraj Kishore, was not served on him for two decades. Stranger still, the court was not aware that the one-time fiery leader, who was also an accused in cases relating to the 1992 demolition of the disputed Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid structure at Ayodhya, passed away on July 13 at the VHP head-quarters, four months after he appeared before the bench on a wheelchair on March 26. Oblivious of Kishores death, a constitution bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha on Wednesday dropped contempt of court charges against him citing his old age and the fact that the notice was not served on him.
