They stated that the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court Presided over by CJI Chandrachud is hearing an important constitutional issue in the matter of the government formation in Maharashtra and the role of the Governor in the same. While the matter is sub-judice, a troll army, presumably sympathetic to the interest of the ruling party in Maharashtra, has launched an offensive against the CJI, the letter said.

"The words and contents are filthy and deplorable, which has garnered views in lakhs on social media platforms," the letter said.

In the letter, Mr. Tankha said that such kind of trolling is onIy possible when the trollers are getting support from the ruling dispensation. He further added that this will lead to brazen interference with the course of justice.

"Your excellency and the Constitutional and Statutory authorities in India are dutybound to protect the dignity and decorum of the Indian Judiciary," the letter urged.

"We expect immediate action not only against the persons indulging in troll but also against people behind it, i.e., supporting and sponsoring it. As law-abiding parliamentarians, we expect immediate action against the culprits, failing which the matter may have to be escalated to higher levels."

Meanwhile, a Bench headed by the CJI had on Thursday reserved its verdict in the Maharashtra politics case.

During the course of the hearing, the CJI had remarked that the actions of Maharashtra's ex-Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari in calling for a floor test which led to the fall of the Uddhav Thackeray government, raised serious concerns regarding the exercise of powers by the Governor.
