On Monday, Justice Lalit’s Bench will hear first the petition filed by advocate G.S. Mani, who has accused Mr. Reddy of “misusing his official post.” An analogous petition has additionally been filed by an NGO, Anti Corruption Council of India Trust.
The third petition is by one other lawyer, Sunil Kumar Singh, who has urged the apex courtroom to situation an order to bar Mr. Reddy from making public statements against the judiciary and holding press conferences to malign the judicial establishment.
The Constitution doesn’t permit such deliberate try to publicly embarrass the judiciary.
“What is at stake is the confidence that courts inspire in the public in a democracy … Discussions can go wild in the media within hours or days and affect the image of the judiciary,” Mr. Singh contended.
The proper locations to carry allegations against the upper judiciary is Parliament or the State Legislature and never in press conferences.
The petition mentioned the constitutional immunity granted to the judiciary is to permit it to operate fearlessly.
