Fifty retired judges slam 18 colleagues over Amit Shah’s ‘Salwa Judum’ remark on Opposition VP pick Justice Sudershan Reddy, sparking heated debate on judiciary, politics, and judicial independence.
The Supreme Court of India has closed long-standing cases related to human rights violations connected to the Salwa Judum movement in Chhattisgarh, emphasizing the joint responsibility of the state and Central Government to restore peace and rehabilitate victims of Naxal violence. It calls for a coordinated approach to address local communities’ needs.
The Supreme Court stated that no law made by Parliament or a state legislature can be termed contempt of court. Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma made this remark while deciding a 2012 contempt plea.
