The Supreme Court of India refused to entertain a plea seeking recognition of “Brahmophobia,” with BV Nagarathna stressing hate speech against any community is unacceptable and must be addressed through education, tolerance, fraternity and societal values.
Former Chief Justice of India Bhushan Gavai said there is nothing wrong if a retired CJI associates with political parties, as judges also carry lifelong values and ideologies. He clarified that his own judicial decisions were rooted only in constitutional principles, not in expectations of post-retirement benefits.
