Supreme Court Closes Case Against Karnataka Judge Over Controversial Remarks

Justice Srishananda apologizes for comments calling a Bengaluru locality 'Pakistan' and making misogynistic remarks.

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud emphasized that no part of India can be referred to as 'Pakistan' due to its threat to national integrity.
The Supreme Court's decision to close the case followed Justice Srishananda's public apology and expression of regret.
Justice Srishananda's comments, made during a landlord-tenant dispute, went viral on social media, prompting the Supreme Court to intervene.
The Supreme Court highlighted the need for judicial restraint and the importance of avoiding comments that may be seen as biased or prejudicial.
CJI Chandrachud stressed that transparency in court proceedings should be maintained, advocating for more openness rather than suppression.
