The Supreme Court Today (Aug 8) took back its earlier harsh comments against Justice Prashant Kumar of the Allahabad High Court, saying they weren’t meant to embarrass him. The Court emphasized it only acted to protect the dignity of the judiciary.
Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav faced backlash for suggesting India should operate according to the majority’s wishes at a Vishva Hindu Parishad event. Union Minister Giriraj Singh defended him, claiming his remarks were made outside a judicial context. Critics, including AAP MP Sanjay Singh, decried the comments as unconstitutional and contrary to India’s inclusive Constitution.
