The Supreme Court cautioned activist Pardeep Sharma against making broad, unverified allegations against judges, stating it welcomes fair criticism but “not sweeping accusations.” The Court noted he had already apologised before the High Court, which accepted his apology and closed contempt proceedings.
Former Supreme Court judge Justice Abhay S. Oka responded to Sanjeev Sanyal’s remark, saying that criticism of the judiciary is acceptable, but one must show proof that court orders have actually hindered development or violated the Constitution, not make sweeping claims.
