New Delhi:
The Supreme Court exploded Thursday morning as it questioned references to ‘corruption in the judiciary‘ in a newly-published NCERT Class VIII Social Science textbook.
A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant demanded accountability from the federal government and the National Council of Educational Research and Training, and warned both “we need to find out who is responsible… heads must roll”. The court also issued a blanket ban on the entire book.
Ironically, the court’s outrage has prompted questions about how ‘corruption in the judiciary’ and how such charges are actually handled instead of quashing talk about the whole affair.
This is particularly significant given last year’s drama over a large pile of cash recovered from the home Justice Yashwant Varma, then a judge in the Delhi High Court. Under intense public scrutiny, the court set up a three-member committee that recommended his impeachment.
