Defamatory & Unacceptable: SCBA on Dubey’s Remark on Judiciary
The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has taken a strong stand against the recent remarks made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey against the judiciary. In a resolution issued by the SCBA, it condemned Dubey’s statement, terming it as “defamatory” and “unacceptable”. The SCBA is the representative body of the lawyers practicing in the Supreme Court of India.
Dubey’s remark, which has sparked widespread outrage, was made during a recent debate on the TV channel. He stated that the Supreme Court is the only institution responsible for inciting religious wars in India. The SCBA has taken a stern view of Dubey’s statement, saying that it amounts to contempt of the Supreme Court.
“This statement isn’t only defamatory but also amounts to contempt of the Supreme Court. This attack on the institution of the judiciary is unacceptable,” said the SCBA resolution. The organization has urged Dubey to retract his statement and apologize for the harm caused to the reputation of the judiciary.
The SCBA’s resolution is a clear reflection of the sentiments of the legal community, which has been reeling under the impact of Dubey’s remark. The judiciary has always been considered an independent and impartial institution, and any attempt to tarnish its reputation is unacceptable.
It is worth noting that Dubey’s remark is not an isolated incident. There have been several instances in the past where political leaders and other public figures have made similar comments, targeting the judiciary. However, the SCBA’s strong response to Dubey’s remark sets a clear precedent for the legal community to stand up against such attacks.
The SCBA’s resolution is also a reminder of the importance of maintaining the independence and integrity of the judiciary. The judiciary plays a crucial role in the functioning of democracy, and any attempt to undermine its authority can have far-reaching consequences.
In recent years, the judiciary has been faced with several challenges, including the increasing use of technology to influence verdicts and the rise of populism, which has led to attacks on the judiciary. The SCBA’s resolution is a clear message that the legal community will not tolerate such attacks and will stand up for the dignity and integrity of the judiciary.
The SCBA’s resolution has also been welcomed by several other organizations, including the Bar Council of India and the All India Bar Association. These organizations have also condemned Dubey’s remark and urged him to retract his statement.
In conclusion, the SCBA’s resolution is a strong stand against Dubey’s remark, which has been widely condemned by the legal community. The resolution is a reminder of the importance of maintaining the independence and integrity of the judiciary and the need to stand up against attacks on the institution. The SCBA’s strong response sets a clear precedent for the legal community to stand up against such attacks and to defend the dignity and integrity of the judiciary.
