New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a PIL seeking to replace the term ‘Hindutva’ with ‘Bharatiya Samidhaanitva’ (Indian constitutionalism). A bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud junked the plea filed by S N Kundra, a resident of Vikaspuri in Delhi.
“This is complete abuse of the process,” said the bench comprising CJI D Y Chandrachud and justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra while junking the PIL on the issue. While dismissing the plea, the CJI said, “No sir, we will not entertain this.”
When the petitioner sought to make submissions, CJI told him that”this is a complete abuse of the process,” reported Live Law.
The Supreme Court on Monday also stayed the operation of the communications issued by child rights body NCPCR urging states to shift students of unrecognised madrassas to government schools.
The apex court bench took note of the submissions of senior advocate, appearing for Muslim organisation Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind, that the communications of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) and consequential actions of some of states needed to be stayed.
The organisation has challenged the action of the Uttar Pradesh and Tripura governments directing that students of unrecognised madrassas should be shifted to government schools.
