The Supreme Court directed the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe controversial remarks made by Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. The SIT is headed by IG Pramod Verma, following the court’s rejection of Shah’s insincere apology, emphasizing the need for accountability and respect.
Supreme Court Justice Bela M Trivedi expressed deep concern over declining legal ethics among lawyers, particularly regarding Advocate-on-Record P Soma Sundaram, who allegedly suppressed facts. As she approaches retirement, she emphasized the need for accountability, criticizing systemic issues within legal associations. The Court subsequently issued a non-bailable warrant for a petitioner who failed to surrender.
