Judiciary not averse to criticism but uninformed assertion: Supreme Court in NCERT order
The Supreme Court, hearing a suo motu petition over a Class 8 social‑science textbook published by NCERT, said it is open to criticism of the judiciary but rejected the claim that the book’s reference to judicial corruption is unfounded. The bench examined the ‘offending’ passages, emphasizing that criticism must be informed and not based on misinformation.
