The Supreme Court found that the “ridiculous” comments made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey to the court and India’s chief judge Sanjiv Khanna were not worth the hassle of launching a court lawsuit.

Mr. Dolby accused Chief Justice Khanna of “responsible for all the civil wars that took place in India”. He said the Supreme Court would be responsible for inciting religious wars in the country. ”The comments were made after the Chief Justice-led judge heard the WAQF lawyer incident.

The facts led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna checked Mr. Dolby, “There is no ‘civil war’ in India.”

The Six-Page Order even refused to choose a contempt action against MPs, dated May 5, issued Thursday, calling his comments “absurd” despite betrayal, no doubt, desire and intentional detrimental to the desire and intentional attempt of the court and its judges.

It said that under such a highly irresponsible statement, the court “is not as fragile and withered as flowers, reflecting “a preference for attracting attention through propaganda to the Supreme Court and Supreme Court judges of India”.

“Every committee of contempt needs to burst out in an outrageous promise or fine, whatever it deserves is actually worth it. This is because judges are wise, their courage is nonviolent, and their spring of wisdom takes action when waving by a range of values, at least in personal protection,” Apex Court observed. ”

The order states that the court does not have to protect its judgments and rulings by resorting to powers of contempt.

The Supreme Court also sent a strong message that “any attempt to spread public hatred or indulge in hate speech must be dealt with by the iron hand.” Hate speech is a criminal offence.

“Hate speech leads to the loss of dignity and self-worth of members of the target group, promotes disharmony among groups, and erodes tolerance and openness, which is necessary for a multicultural society dedicated to the idea of ​​equality,” the Chief Court held. ”
