Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of inappropriate language used by a High Court judge in criticizing a subordinate judicial officer's order under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court emphasized the need for judicial restraint and decorum, stating that such comments undermine the respect for the judiciary. The Court ultimately held that the High Court's remarks were unwarranted and set aside the order, remitting the matter back for reconsideration without the derogatory observations.
