Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application of Sri Surender Mohon seeking to expunge remarks made against him in a prior order regarding his conduct as an IAS officer. The Court found that the letters he wrote to the Indian Oil Corporation and the Principal Secretary of the Home Department were not intended to influence the investigation into the murder of his brother-in-law, Col. Goswami. The Court held that the remarks about his impropriety were unwarranted and directed their expungement, emphasizing the need for clarity in the conduct of public officials in sensitive matters.
