In a significant setback to the opposition, the Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain a joint petition signed by 14 opposition events, together with Congress, SP, NCP, RJD, JD(U), DMK, TMC, BRS, AAP, JMM, Shiv Sena (Uddhav), Left events, National Conference, in search of stringent tips to be adopted earlier than arrests of political leaders by CBI and ED. The bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and JB Pardiwala stated, “You (political parties) say there is selective targeting of opposition leaders, but at the same time, you say you do not want any special treatment for politicians. Then, how can we lay down guidelines saying if it is not murder, assault or child sexual abuse, no politician should be arrested?” The apex court docket clearly stated, “once we accept that political leaders stand absolutely on the same footing as citizens of the country, they will face the same due process of law”. The bench clearly stated, ‘the answer to this must be found in the political space and not in court’. Finding the court docket’s objections sturdy, the advocate for opposition events Abhishek Manu Singhvi withdrew the petition. While Congress and different events put up a courageous face and stated they might research the matter deeply, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi stated, “opposition had adopted a wrong method, they should not have approached the apex court… You cannot do politics like this against BJP, especially when Modi is leading it.” Owaisi is a barrister and he is aware of what he’s saying. No court docket on the planet may give immunity from arrest to politicians, nor can it order rapid bail for them after arrest, and even when bail is just not granted, it can’t ship politicians to accommodate arrest as a substitute of jail. No court docket on earth can situation such an order. The petition itself was inaccurate. It was filed by 14 political events, and it didn’t learn like a petition. There is distinction between a petition and a political speech. Opposition events needed the Supreme Court to struggle their political battle in opposition to Modi. Abhishek Manu Singhvi is a senior advocate. I’m shocked how he even thought that the apex court docket would hear such an inaccurate petition, as a result of no particular instances have been talked about. For the final 9 years, opposition events have been alleging that Modi is misusing CBI and ED in opposition to them to win elections. Most of those opposition leaders felt, because it was troublesome to defeat Modi in elections, they may strive their luck with Supreme Court by submitting a joint petition. Had the Supreme Court agreed to listen to their petition, it might have change into a significant floor for launching an assault on Modi, however the apex court docket refused to entertain, and plainly advised them that the court docket is just not a floor for political battles, and leaders ought to struggle their political battles exterior. The opposition gambit failed fully, and it’ll certainly going to trigger political loss. BJP will now go to city and say that corrupt and nervous politicians went to apex court docket however didn’t get aid. It will change into troublesome for opposition events to answer to their voters.
