NEW DELHI: A SC bench headed by CJI Sanjiv Khanna on Monday refused to entertain a PIL seeking steps to protect the dignity of the institution, which the petitioner said has been harmed by the unwarranted and unnecessary caustic criticism of CJI and SC by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey .
The bench of CJI Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar told PIL petitioner-advocate Vishal Tiwari that it will pass a short order giving reasons why it did not entertain the PIL. Earlier another bench had declined to entertain another petition seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against Dubey by telling him that he would have to seek consent of the attorney general for filing a contempt petition.
In another PIL before a bench of Justice Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh, Tiwari had sought directions to the Union govt and govt of J&K to take steps to protect tourists in the state in the aftermath of Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 persons were killed.
The bench castigated Tiwari, questioned his motive and dismissed the PIL saying, "the petitioner has been indulging in filing one or the other PIL which are primarily aimed at seeking publicity and without any intent to serve public interest." tnn
