The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday asked a petitioner to explain on what authority he wrote a letter warning a private channel that airing a documentary on “Cauvery Calling” project would amount to contempt of court.

A Division Bench issued the direction while hearing a PIL petition filed by A.V. Amaranathan, a city-based advocate. ISHA Outreach, which manages the “Cauvery Calling” project, had complained that the petitioner sent an email to Discovery Channel warning that telecasting the documentary would amount to contempt of court.
