The Supreme Court that declined earlier this week to entertain a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking contempt proceedings against BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for his remarks targeting Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and the judiciary, has said in its order that even though it refrained from initiating action, Dubey's statements prima facie amounted to contempt.

NEW DELHI:

A bench of CJI Sanjiv Khanna and justice Sanjay Kumar noted in the order made public on Thursday that while Dubey's comments had the potential to "scandalize and lower the authority" of the Supreme Court and reflected a clear intent to "impute motives" to the bench, the judiciary was not so fragile that it would be shaken by "ludicrous" statements.
