Bharatiya Janata Party MP Manoj Tiwari said in the Supreme Court on Tuesday (30 October) that while the judges do not have to face the public, he has no such luxury.

Senior Advocate Vikas Singh, during a hearing in the apex court, said on behalf of the MP, “Judges sit in this cozy area where nobody comes to question them. People question me, I am responsible”.

The hearing related to a September 2018 matter in which Tiwari had broken the seal of a locked house in an unauthorised colony in Delhi. A contempt plea was filed as a result.
