A petition has been lodged in the Supreme Court of India, requesting a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the 'Cockroach Janata Party,' a satirical online campaign that gained momentum following remarks made during court proceedings. The petition, filed by Raja Choudhary, also seeks to investigate the prevalence of fake advocates and fraudulent law degrees, highlighting a concerning decline in professional standards within the legal system.

The plea identifies the Union of India, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the Bar Council of India, and the CBI as respondents. It claims that recent oral observations made by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant were selectively edited and circulated online, resulting in memes and commercial exploitation of judicial remarks.

Choudhary clarified that the petition does not intend to limit legitimate criticism or satire of the judiciary. Instead, it calls for action against the organized misuse of courtroom exchanges for commercial gain, arguing that such practices undermine the integrity of the legal profession. The controversy has raised significant concerns about the intersection of law, media, and digital culture.
