The Supreme Court of India reaffirmed the fundamental right to free speech by quashing an FIR against Congress MP Imran Pratapgarhi over a social media post.
Judges are just as fallible as any other common man and should not be deified as gods, observed Chief Justice Rajiv Shakdher on Friday (Oct 18) while giving a farewell speech at the Himachal Pradesh High Court on the eve of his retirement from judgeship. Chief Justice Shakdher observed that judges do go horribly wrong sometimes and must take responsibility for their actions. He also took the opportunity to express his apologies if he has unintentionally hurt anyone during his tenure as a judge.
