Tweedledum and Tweedledee are a pair of comparable twin brothers who’re constantly engaged in nonsensical arguments and disagreements. They have since grow to be iconic characters in in type custom and are typically depicted as two foolish individuals who mirror each other’s behaviour.

Their names have even been adopted as a metaphor for two individuals who discover themselves so comparable that they are almost indistinguishable.

The Background of the Controversy

On May 22 this 12 months, the Jabalpur Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed the second Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed to stop Bageshwar Dham’s spiritual event inside the State.

The event was scheduled for May 23 and May 24 at Rani Durgavati Mahavidyalay Ground, village Linga in Paraswada of district Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh.

During the listening to, Justice Vivek Agarwal warned the advocate of contempt of courtroom docket if he continued to argue with the bench inappropriately. The advocate exhibiting for the “Tribal” organisation claimed that organising such an event would hurt the spiritual sentiments of the tribals.

When Justice Vivek Agarwal requested him to elucidate the traditions of the ‘Bada Dev Bhagwan Sthal’ (Religious place of Tribals) of the realm and the way in which tribals’ sentiments will be hurt. The advocate study a paragraph from the petition that was imprecise with no detailed data on the native traditions.

Justice Vivek interrupted the advocate and outlined his question in Hindi and English so that the counsel might understand. Confused by the question, the advocate could not current any aspect of the primitive traditions and acknowledged they do not have a problem if the event was held at one different place.

Justice Vivek acknowledged, “You are not answering my question. Who are you to decide where the event will take place and where it cannot take place?” The advocate purchased agitated and acknowledged, “I am trying to explain it through Constitution but you are not listening to me.” Justice Vivek warned him to talk appropriately. Advocate acknowledged, “You are not listening to me. ‘Kuch bhi bole ja rahe hain’ (You are saying whatever you want)” to the resolve.

Justice Vivek did not take the advocate’s tone flippantly and requested to problem a contempt uncover in opposition to him. The advocate continued to speak inappropriately and acknowledged, “I am trying to mention the provisions under Article 51 but you are not ready to listen.” He extra requested the resolve to take heed to his argument first.

Justice Vivek as soon as extra warned him of contempt if he continued to speak to the bench in an relevant technique after which the advocate apologised. The advocate’s affiliate obtained right here and requested him to quiet down. Justice Vivek, who was visibly offended on the style the advocate behaved, acknowledged, “First reply my questions then we’ll study the construction. Don’t try and be over-smart. If you try and argue inappropriately, I’ll ship you on to jail from proper right here.

The part of the courtroom docket persevering with that Tweedledee and Tweedledum took offence to was the subsequent:

Justice Agarwal is seen telling Udhe in Hindi, 

“Tum logo ne soch liya hai ki badtameezi karke tum jo hai, apne aap ke liye bohot badi TRP collect karloge? (You people think that by misbehaving you will garner TRPs for yourself?).” 

Udhe then mumbles an apology, which prompts the resolve to say,

“You should be sorry.” 

Justice Agarwal then as soon as extra says in Hindi, 

“Tum logon ko ye sikhake bheja jaata hai ki badtameezi karo? (Are you people tutored and sent to misbehave?)”

They alleged that “tum log” mainly alluded to the caste of the lawyer, however, that is not true. If not actually watching the proceedings, as quickly as would realise that the resolve and the lawyer had purchased into an argument quite a bit sooner than these suggestions had been made as a result of repeated misbehaviour of the lawyer. The lawyer constantly claimed that the event would hurt the Adivasi spiritual feelings and the resolve saved asking him to substantiate his comment.

Another lawyer is then seen asking Udhe to quiet down and it is then that Udhe mumbles his apology and Justice Agarwal makes the “tum log” comment. 

It is evident that the Judge, when he acknowledged “tum log”, was alluding to authorized professionals who file sponsored PILs and motivated circumstances and his comment had nothing to do with caste or the adivasi identification.
