A petition, seeking action against Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar for their remarks on the Collegium, judiciary and the Constitution, has been filed before the Bombay High Court.
Who are the peitioners? The Bombay Lawyers Association, who are the petitioners in the case, have claimed that the two are "continuing their rampage of attack upon the constitution with complete impunity."
“The Petitioner states that the above conduct of the Respondent No. 1 & 2 is nothing limited to attack on judiciary but frontal attack on the Constitution of India. Despite all these derogatory statements towards the judiciary and the Constitution of India, no action against the Respondent No. 1 & 2 has been taken by any constitutional authority.”- The Petition
