Supreme Court to hear Bombay lawyers body plea for action against VP, Rijiju over remarks on judiciary

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday a plea of the Bombay Lawyers Association against Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar over their remarks on the judiciary and the collegium system for appointment of judges. In an appeal, the lawyers body said the "frontal attack not just on the judiciary but the Constitution'' by the two executive officials has lowered the prestige of the Supreme Court in public. “It is submitted that the Petitioner herein filed the PIL before the High Court of Judicature at Bombay praying therein to declare the Respondent no 1 and 2 as disqualified candidates to hold any constitutional posts of Vice President and Minister of the Union Cabinet, respectively, based on their behaviour, conduct and utterances made in public,” the petition has said. "The conduct of Respondent Nos 1 and 2 appeared to have shaken public faith in the Supreme Court and the Constitution,” it said.
