The anti-Hindu stances repeatedly taken by the judiciary have emboldened Hinduphobic elements to such an extent that they are attempting to outdo each other to insult Sanatan Hindu Dharma.

Anti-Hindu judiciary

DY Chandrachud refused to urgently list the plea seeking legal action against Udhaynidhi Stalin’s Hindu hate speech calling for the ‘eradication’ of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The judiciary sees hate speech as per its convenience and in compliance with its anti-Hindu bias. Therefore, the judiciary, which takes suo moto cognizance in all cases except where Hindus are victims, chose to ignore Udhaynidhi Stalin’s calls to eradicate Sanatana Dharma.

With the apex judiciary being so lax when it comes to the sentiments of the so-called majority community, it is hardly surprising that politicians like Stalin continue to make calls for eradicating Hindu Dharma. The apex court that takes suo moto cognizance of incidents in Manipur remains conveniently blinded to the ongoing slaughter of Hindus in Manipur’s neighbour state West Bengal.

When it comes to the human rights of the country’s so-called majority Hindu community, a section of the Indian judiciary has repeatedly taken a troubling stance even when evidence stares them in the eye. The message that the judiciary is essentially sending out through its biased stances is that Hindu haters are free to rant as it has their backs covered and would protect them at all costs. As for Hindus freedom of speech and expression is a distant dream.

Judiciary-Lutyens cabal nexus

In addition to its troubled stances emboldening Hinduphobic elements, the judiciary has also bent over backwards to please the Khan Market cabal (Lutyens gang). The Khan Market gang has managed to bully the judiciary repeatedly and forced the latter to accede to its unreasonable demands even as the common man is forced to run from pillar to post for justice.

Here are ten instances when the Lutyens gang got its way with the judiciary:

1) Even as Bihari YouTuber Manish Kashyap continues to be denied bail, the apex court relaxed bail conditions of accused terror mastermind Madani who was represented in court by Lutyens lawyer Kapil Sibal earlier this April. Supreme Court allowed Abdul Nasser Madani, the prime accused in the 2008 Bengaluru serial bomb blasts case and other terrorist acts, to visit his home in Kerala.

2) Last September the apex judiciary, which refused to constitute a SIT to probe the Kashmiri Hindu genocide, overrode the High Court and granted bail to controversial fraud-accused ‘activist’ Teesta Setalvad, arrested by the state police for fabricating evidence to target innocent people over the 2002 post-Godhra riots in Gujarat. Terror suspect ‘journalist’ Siddique Kappan being granted bail by the Supreme Court is another case in point as to how pliant the judiciary is.

3) Last August, Sibal-Dave prevailed upon the apex judiciary and got a Karnataka HC decision overturned. The Supreme Court has overturned the Karnataka HC order allowing Ganesh Chaturthi festival celebration at a Bengaluru public ground which the Muslim Waqf Board claims is an ‘Idgah maidan’ owned by it. BBMP, however, says that the land belongs to the Revenue Department. Ordering ‘status quo’, the SC bench of Justice Indira Banerjee, Justice Abhay Oka and Justice MM Sundresh dismissively told the Karnataka govt and Hindu group Chamarajpet Okoota Samiti to hold the Ganesh Puja ‘at some other place’.

4) The Khan Market cabal got its way in the case of POCSO-accused Islamist instigator Mohammad Zubair last July. DY Chandrachud-led SC (Supreme Court) bench not only granted bail to Zubair but also disbanded the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Special Investigation Team. “There is no reason for deprivation of liberty of the petitioner…to be released on interim bail in each FIR (UP FIRs)…power of arrest should be used sparingly…”, the bench said. However, Chandrachud refused the same yardstick to Bihari YouTuber Manish Kashyap.

5) Last April, the Khan Market gang lawyers Sibal, Dave, and Bhushan got an anti-encroachment drive in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri stopped within minutes of it starting. The cabal got an urgent hearing by the apex judiciary soon after approaching it. Compare this with the casual attitude with which Udhaynidhi Stalin’s call for Hindu genocide was treated by the apex court.

“What such legal arguments cleverly side-step is that the illegal properties, mostly built on encroached land, being demolished now have been served notices in the past. But authorities, most likely to maintain ‘communal harmony’ and avoid ‘law & order disturbance’, delayed taking action till now. It is reported that other Lutyens/Congress/Nehruvian ecosystem lawyers like Sanjay Hegde and Prashant Bhushan were also involved in representing the plea(s) against the demolition drive”, HinduPost had earlier highlighted.

6) In April 2021, the Lutyens lawyers’ cabal was successful in bullying the apex court to accede to their unreasonable demands in connection with the Chinese virus pandemic. CJI SA Bobde came under heavy criticism from the Lutyens lawyer cabal for his decision to take over cases related to the Chinese Virus pandemic pending in various high courts (HC).

The decision came under heavy criticism of the Lutyens lawyer cabal which included usual suspects such as Dushyant Dave, Indira Jaising, Sanjay Hegde, Mukul Rohatgi, and others. The cabal wasn’t only opposed to the suo moto taking up of the case by the apex court but also by the decision to appoint Salve as the amicus in the matter.

7) The farm reform laws and the ensuing protests by a section of farmers from Punjab and Haryana highlighted how Lutyens’ arm-twists judiciary. During the hearing, the CJI said he was not interested in discussing the Constitutionality of the laws but was concerned about the lack of progress in negotiations at this time. CJI also seemed worried with media reports about parties placing the onus on courts to decide on the new farm laws. The highest judiciary of the country being so apparently concerned with optics, media reporting and pandering to the left-liberal gallery, and not with implementing the law of the land, has now become a worrying pattern.

8) In May 2018, a 3-judge SC bench held a marathon four-hour long, post-midnight hearing, on a petition filed by Congress challenging the Karnataka Governor’s decision inviting the BJP to form the government after emerging as the single largest party in Karnataka assembly elections.

The Congress brains trust consisting of P Chidambaram, Ahmed Patel, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Vivek Tankha and Randeep Surjewala was so confident that their petition would be heard in the night itself that they decided to wait at the Taj Mansingh Hotel coffee shop for the court summons after filing the petition with the registrar at 9.30 PM. The hearing started in the Supreme Court at 2:10 a.m. and ended at 5:47 a.m.

9) It is hard to forget that in 2015, the apex court opened its door at midnight for a terrorist at the behest of the Khan Market cabal. 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon’s umpteenth mercy petition was heard and rejected in an unprecedented midnight hearing by a three-member Supreme Court bench. Senior lawyers Anand Grover and Yug Chowdhury managed to get a hearing at 3.20 AM to try and stop the execution scheduled at 7 AM.

10) In March 2015, SC CJI HL Dattu granted a stay on the arrest of controversial Modi-baiting activist Teesta Setalvad who was facing charges of cheating and criminal breach of trust over alleged embezzlement of funds she had raised for two NGOs who were working for victims of the 2002 Gujarat riots. Setalvad’s counsel & senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal managed to get the stay from a CJI-led bench hearing another matter citing the emergence of an “extraordinary situation”, on the same day that the Gujarat High Court had rejected Setalvad’s application for anticipatory bail paving the way for her custodial interrogation by police.

As HinduPost reported earlier, “there is a huge backlog of across the various courts in the country. The minimum average period to complete any trial in Bharat is six years, which tends to increase if the case is dragged till the Supreme Court. The upshot of all this is that for the common citizen, access to speedy justice is a distant dream, and most of us just hope that we never have to see the inside of a courtroom in our lives. However, there is an elite liberal clique in this country which gets instant access to justice 24×7”.

The judiciary’s apathy and slackness regarding security issues would require a dedicated essay. The less said about the Hindudvesh (Hinduphobia) of sections of the judiciary, the better it would be. The apex court exposed its double standards when it took suo moto cognizance of the Lakhimpur incident but showed zero urgency in the case of WB post-poll anti-Hindu pogrom. A similar double standard was adopted by the judiciary in case of sporadic disturbances in Tripura.

The Judiciary’s differential treatment of Nupur Sharma and POCSO-accused Mohammad Zubair aptly shows how it is keeping ‘the scale in balance in any dispute‘ as Justice Veerappa puts it. The apex court’s kid-glove treatment of rabid Hindu hater Munawar Faruqui is another case in point.

The judiciary needs to take a good hard look at itself before patting its own back. It allows itself to be bullied by the Lutyens cabal frequently. Also, the sooner it gets off the moral high horse and gets rid of its God complex, the quicker it would be able to hear the common citizens’ honest opinions about the judiciary and their desperate pleas for justice.
