The provision states that when the court can start contempt on itself, or on the proposal made by the Attorney General, if proposed by another person, requires the written consent of the AG.
The letter refers to Dubey’s statement in which the Godda MP said, “When the issue of Ram temple arises, you (Supreme Court) say ‘Show the document;
These comments claim letters, “not only are factually incorrect, but also to intimidate the Hon’ble Supreme Court, destroy the public trust and incite communal disbelief in judicial fairness, all of which are clearly evident under the meaning of criminal contempt, which is defined under Section 2 (C) of the courts.”
In an interview ANI On Saturday, Dubey said that “the Supreme Court is fully responsible for inciting religious wars in the country”. He even convicted CJI Khanna for “all civilian wars of the country”. The comment was made amid the ongoing hearing in the Supreme Court on the batch of petitions challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
Referring to Dubey’s allegations against CJI, the letter states, “This statement is not only deeply derogatory, but also dangerous stimulating. It carelessly credits the honorable Chief Justice for national disturbance, thus scares the highest judicial office in the country and tries to erupt public mistrust, and possible.”
Such an allegation without any basis, claims, “is a serious attack on the integrity and freedom of the judiciary”.

In the interview, Dubey had said, “If someone has to go to the Supreme Court for everything, then the Parliament and the State Assembly should be closed.”
Dubi also launched a scary attack on the Supreme Court’s decision, which sets a three -month timeline for the President to decide the bills referred to by the Governors by the President. Referring to this decision, the BJP MP also alleged that it means that the Supreme Court wants to take this country to “anarchy”.
However, the letter states that “Dubey has made a deliberate effort to instigate the judiciary’s institution by suggesting that the Supreme Court is making ‘anarchy’.”
Dubey also claimed that while Parliament has the right to implement law under Article 368 (procedure for amending the Constitution), the Supreme Court has the power to interpret the law. However, the letter stated that Dubey’s reference to Article 368 “has been misleading and calculated to portray the judiciary as encroachment on the powers of the Legislature, while in fact, the Supreme Court is completely strong under Article 141 and 142, so that the binding direction can be issued to maintain constitutional pavilions.”
In a separate interview on Saturday, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dinesh Sharma told ANI No one can challenge the President, who said, “supreme”.
Hours after his comment, BJP chief JP Nadda drove the BJP away from the comment. Nadda posted on ‘X’, “These are his personal statements, but the BJP neither agree with such statements nor supports such statements.
