Defamatory & Unacceptable: SCBA on Dubey’s Remark on Judiciary
The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has issued a strongly worded resolution condemning the recent remarks made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey against the judiciary. The SCBA has termed Dubey’s statement as “defamatory” and “unacceptable”, stating that it amounts to contempt of the Supreme Court.
Dubey, a member of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had recently sparked a controversy by saying that the Supreme Court is responsible for inciting religious wars in India. His statement has been widely criticized by legal experts, politicians, and civil society organizations, who have condemned his comments as “unwarranted” and “inflammatory”.
The SCBA, in its resolution, has explicitly stated that Dubey’s remarks are not only defamatory but also amount to contempt of the Supreme Court. The association has also emphasized that such attacks on the judiciary are unacceptable and undermine the institution’s independence and authority.
The SCBA has also expressed concern over the increasing trend of political leaders making personal attacks on the judiciary, stating that such behavior is detrimental to the rule of law and the democratic fabric of the country. The association has urged political leaders to refrain from making such comments and to instead focus on constructive dialogue and debate.
The SCBA’s resolution has been endorsed by several prominent lawyers and legal experts, who have also condemned Dubey’s remarks. They have emphasized that the judiciary is an independent institution and that it is the duty of all citizens, including political leaders, to respect its authority and independence.
One of the prominent lawyers who has endorsed the SCBA’s resolution is Senior Advocate Pinky Anand, who has stated that Dubey’s remarks are “unconstitutional” and “unacceptable”. Anand has emphasized that the judiciary is not responsible for inciting religious wars, but rather plays a crucial role in upholding the Constitution and the rule of law.
Another lawyer who has endorsed the SCBA’s resolution is Senior Advocate Vikas Singh, who has stated that Dubey’s remarks are “defamatory” and “in contempt of court”. Singh has emphasized that the judiciary is an independent institution and that it is the duty of all citizens, including political leaders, to respect its authority and independence.
The SCBA’s resolution has also been endorsed by several civil society organizations, who have condemned Dubey’s remarks as “inflammatory” and “unacceptable”. These organizations have emphasized that the judiciary plays a crucial role in upholding the Constitution and the rule of law, and that it is the duty of all citizens to respect its authority and independence.
In conclusion, the SCBA’s resolution condemning Dubey’s remarks is a welcome move that emphasizes the importance of respecting the judiciary’s independence and authority. The association’s stand is a clear reminder that the judiciary is an independent institution and that it is the duty of all citizens, including political leaders, to respect its authority and independence.
It is essential that political leaders refrain from making personal attacks on the judiciary and instead focus on constructive dialogue and debate. The judiciary plays a crucial role in upholding the Constitution and the rule of law, and it is the duty of all citizens to respect its authority and independence.
As the SCBA’s resolution states, Dubey’s remarks are not only defamatory but also amount to contempt of the Supreme Court. It is essential that political leaders take note of the SCBA’s resolution and refrain from making such comments in the future.
