Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while adjudicating a special leave petition under Article 136, addressed the issue of remarks made against a judicial officer in a High Court judgment. The Court held that the High Court's quashing of cognizance taken under Sections 380, 201, and 120-B of the IPC was justified, as no prima facie case was established against the accused. The Court emphasized the need for proper infrastructure for judicial functioning and acknowledged the challenges faced by the appellant in her courtroom, ultimately upholding the High Court's decision.
