The Bombay Lawyers Association has filed a request in the Bombay High Court against Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar and Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju for their remarks against the Judiciary and Collegium System, claiming that both "lowered the prestige of the Supreme Court in public".
The Public Interest Litigation filed by the BLA through its chairman Ahmed Abidi sought a declaration from the high court that the Law Minister and Vice President have disqualified themselves from holding the constitutional post by expressing a lack of faith in the Constitution of India.
"The Vice President and the Law Minister have launched a frontal attack on the institution of the judiciary particularly Supreme Court in the most insulting and derogatory language without using any recourse which is available under the constitutional scheme to change the status quo as per the law laid down by the Supreme Court," the request stated.
