The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) may remove a section on "judicial corruption" from Class 8 CBSE textbook after the Supreme Court raised an objection, reports said citing sources. The NCERT has already taken down the new social science textbook carrying the said portion from its website. This comes after a three-judge bench of the apex court took suo motu cognisance of the contents in the textbook. According to a report by the news agency PTI, the controversial parts may soon be removed from the textbook. It has also cited former CJI BR Gavai's quote to make its point about judicial corruption.
