SC: We have cancer of berating lower courts
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has admitted that a growing tendency in superior courts to berate lower court judges for apparent mistakes in orders and judgments was denting the judiciary’s credibility.
It said its judgments advising superior court judges to exercise restraint and use temperate language while dealing with appeals against orders passed by lower court judges had fallen on deaf ears. “The trend seems to be persistent like an incurable cancerous cell which explodes out at the slightest imbalance,” said a bench of Justices B S Chauhan and Dipak Misra.
