'Not As Fragile As Flowers': SC Rebukes Nishikant Dubey’s Comment On Judiciary

The Supreme Court has criticised BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's remarks as "highly irresponsible," stating they reflect a tendency to seek attention by undermining the integrity of the Supreme Court and its judges. 

The Court noted that his comments lack understanding of the constitutional courts' roles and responsibilities. Emphasising judicial resilience, the Court asserted it is not "as fragile as flowers" to be affected by such absurd remarks, according to a report by ANI.

The court said, "It is of the firm opinion that 'courts are not as fragile as flowers to wither and wilt under such ludicrous statements.'"

The Supreme Court's criticism of Nishikant Dubey followed his earlier comment suggesting that if the judiciary is going to make laws, then the existence of Parliament is pointless.

The development followed after the top court was hearing petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the amended Waqf Act, passed by both houses of the Parliament.

Sanjiv Khanna Is Responsible For All Civil Wars In Country: Nishikant Dubey

Later, Dubey also said that the Chief Justice of India, Sanjiv Khanna, is responsible for all the civil wars happening in this country. He further added that the Supreme Court is going beyond its limit, and if one has to go to the Supreme Court for everything, then Parliament and the State Assembly should be shut.

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey told ANI, "There was an Article 377 in which homosexuality is a big crime. The Trump administration has said that there are only two sexes in this world, either male or female...Whether it is Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh, all believe that homosexuality is a crime. One fine morning, the Supreme Court said that we abolish this case...Article 141 says that the laws we make, the judgments we give, are applicable from the lower court to the Supreme Court. Article 368 says that Parliament has the right to make all laws and the Supreme Court has the right to interpret the law."
