New Delhi, April 22 – The Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear next week a petition concerning critical remarks made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey against the apex court and Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna. The plea also seeks urgent directions to remove viral derogatory videos from social media platforms. The matter was mentioned for urgent listing before a Supreme Court bench comprising Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih.
Last week, Vice President Dhankhar criticized the judiciary for setting deadlines on presidential decisions, suggesting it acted like a “super Parliament.” Legal experts condemned his remarks as irresponsible. BJP MP Dubey also disparaged the Supreme Court, prompting the BJP leadership to clarify their respect for the judiciary amidst concerns over recent riots related to a controversial law.
Today, On 17th April, The Centre informed the Supreme Court that it will not appoint non-Muslims to Waqf boards and will de-notify existing Waqfs for the time being.
