An expert discusses the Supreme Court’s decision to reject the NCERT’s apology over a controversial textbook chapter on corruption in the judiciary. The speaker states, ‘I think it’s a decisive pushback by the judiciary against what it sees as an attempt to denigrate it and to compromise with the administration of justice.’ The discussion covers the implications of teaching eighth-grade students about judicial corruption without empirical evidence, arguing that while individual judges may have failings, a sweeping indictment of the entire judiciary is constitutionally unacceptable. The speaker emphasises that extreme cases require urgent measures and expresses hope that this precedent will prevent similar attacks on other constitutional institutions. The conversation also addresses the balance between free speech and institutional dignity, and whether the judiciary should be subject to questioning in a democracy.
