The Supreme Court today (25th Sept) cautioned judges and lawyers against personal biases impacting their duties after controversial remarks by Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda. The court emphasized national integrity, urging mindfulness due to social media’s expansive reach. While closing proceedings after an apology, it reiterated the need for impartiality in justice.
Following the viral circulation of two controversial videos of Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda, the Advocates’ Association of Bengaluru has requested a suspension of live-streaming court proceedings. They urged Chief Justice NV Anjaria to take immediate action to protect the court’s image, advocating for a halt until there is clarity on what can be expressed in open court.
