Amar Pal Singh vs State Of U.P.& Anr

The Supreme Court emphasized the need for judicial restraint in language used by higher courts when reviewing decisions of subordinate courts, particularly to protect the dignity of judicial officers. The Court held that the comments made by the High Court regarding the Chief Judicial Magistrate's conduct were inappropriate and undermined the respect for the judiciary. Consequently, the Court ordered the deletion of the derogatory remarks and the direction for administrative action against the Chief Judicial Magistrate, thereby reinforcing the principle of judicial decorum under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
