Why is the Supreme Court dragging lawyers into its politics? The apex court made a comment on Telangana CM’s tweet


New Delhi : The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and the state government on the CM’s alleged derogatory tweets against the apex court after it granted bail to BRS leader K Kavitha in the Delhi liquor policy scam case. A bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Vishwanath took objection to a photo of Kavitha along with a photo of senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi. The apex court said why drag the Supreme Court and lawyers in your politics.

People in high positions should exercise restraint

Though the CM had apologised on social media a day after his/her tweets went viral, the bench expressed displeasure over the pictures circulating on social media after the Supreme Court granted bail to Kavitha and sought her response. The bench said it is unfortunate that courts and lawyers are being dragged into political entanglements. When a person (like the CM) is in a high position, he/she should exercise restraint. The petitioner said the CM has made several disrespectful comments on the judiciary, opposition leaders and police officials. One of them is the comment made on the Supreme Court regarding the bail of a leader belonging to the BRS political party.

The tweet was termed an insult to the judges

The irony is that senior advocate Rohatgi had argued for Kavita’s bail. At the same time, senior advocate Siddharth Luthra appeared before the bench on behalf of the CM and the Telangana government. Senior advocate C A Sundaram, who appeared for petitioner G Jagdish Reddy, apologized for adding the picture in the petition, but said that the CM’s tweets were not only objectionable but also insulting to the Supreme Court and its judges.
