The Supreme Court on Monday refused to issue any order on the petition to implement President’s rule in Bengal and deploy paramilitary force. The petitioner had appealed that the court should decide on this after the Murshidabad violence against the Waqf law.
The bench of Justice BR Gawai and Justice AG Christ did not give any order on this. The bench asked the petitioner- Do you want us to send orders to the President to implement it? We are facing allegations of interference in the jurisdiction of others. Justice Gawai is going to be CJI next month.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said on Saturday that the court is going out of its boundaries. At the same time, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that the courts cannot order the President. The judges are acting like a super parliament.
On the other hand, a second petition related to the Murshidabad violence was heard in the bench of Justice Suryakant. In this, the lawyer spoke of migration of people due to Murshidabad violence. The Supreme Court questioned the lawyer what is the source of your information, did you investigate yourself. The lawyer replied to this- media reports.
