Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal and addressed the remarks made by the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding the appellant, a Principal District Judge. The Court emphasized that judicial officers must respect existing injunction orders from subordinate courts unless modified or set aside, as per the principles of judicial discipline. The Court held that the disparaging remarks made by the High Court were unwarranted and directed their expungement, reinforcing the need for respect within the judiciary.
