CJI Surya Kant on Cockroach Janta Party PIL; says no urgent hearing needed

CJI Surya Kant reacted to a PIL filed against the “Cockroach Janta Party” (CJP) during proceedings in the Supreme Court of India, saying “don’t take it so sentimentally” and noting that there was no urgency in the matter. The petition alleges a distorted narrative aimed at maligning the judiciary and seeks directions including a CBI probe into related activities. The court observed the matter would be examined in due course. The case comes amid debates on the CJP online satire movement, which has gained large digital traction and sparked political and legal discussions.
