Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's remarks on a judicial officer, emphasizing that such remarks should be justified and warranted. The Court held that the High Court's strictures were unwarranted as the officer had acted within his judicial discretion while granting bail under Section 120-B IPC and Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court ordered the expunging of the remarks made by the High Court, reinforcing the principle that judicial officers should not be subjected to unjustified criticism.
