‘Will not allow anyone to defame institution’: CJI takes exception to NCERT’s Class 8 book section on ‘corruption in judiciary’


It will be taken up by a bench comprising the CJI, and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi at 10.30 am on Thursday. Earlier, after senior advocates A M Singhvi and Kapil Sibal raised the issue before the bench, the CJI said, “…At any cost I will not permit anyone. I am fully aware of it.” Sibal then expressed hope that the bench would “take suo motu notice of this matter”. I have already passed an order, I am taking the matter suo motu.”Singhvi said the “selectivity is amazing” before adding that “one institution is plucked out as if there is no problem anywhere else”. Such occurrences inevitably have a negative impact on public confidence, potentially eroding faith in the integrity of the system as a whole.
