In its \u2018Oral Observation\u2019 on the matter, the apex court <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/barandbench\/status\/1542743894290354176\">raised questions<\/a> on the attitude of the Delhi police. It remarked there <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/barandbench\/status\/1542748351111630848\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">must have been a &#8216;red carpet<\/a>&#8216; placed for the leader, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/barandbench\/status\/1542749925942759424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adding that<\/a> \u201cwhen you (Sharma) register an FIR against someone then they are arrested but not you. This shows your clout.\u201d The top court rejected her plea. Justice Pardiwala was on the vacation bench that passed this order led by Justice Surya Kant.<\/p>\n<p>Following the hearing, pro-BJP propaganda website OpIndia accused the Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/f8y65\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">of being &#8220;Islamist&#8221;<\/a>. An online campaign was started against the Supreme Court judges who were also abused on Twitter. It is worth noting that terms such as &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/JPA1Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Supreme Kotha<\/a>&#8216; were trending on the micro-blogging platform. RSS mouthpiece <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/8r1TJ\">Organiser Weekly<\/a> and BJP supporter <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/szkbg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vijay Patel<\/a> among others also alleged that the father of one of the judges was a Congress MLA. Expressing concern over the backlash, Justice B Pardiwala stated, \u201cAttacks attempted at our judges for the judgments will lead to a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/cjfMr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dangerous scenario<\/a> where the judges will have to pay greater attention as to what the media thinks rather than what the law actually mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, a photo of NDTV co-chairpersons Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy, and Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Brinda Karat with two other men is being widely circulated on social media. A user named Rakesh Kumar Pandit tweeted the picture. He wrote that Supreme Court judges Justices Surya Kant and Pardiwala were seen sitting with the &#8220;Naxal&#8221; gang.
