Former SC Justice Markandey Katju Faces Backlash for Controversial Tweet on 'Lady Lawyers Wink' Remark

Former Supreme Court Justice Markandey Katju sparked outrage after tweeting that “all the lady lawyers who winked at me in the court got favourable orders.”

The tweet, widely condemned as distasteful and demeaning to the judiciary, was deleted shortly after posting, but screenshots circulated. Several advocates demanded a review of his past orders and called out the remarks as “distasteful” and “demeaning to the judiciary.”

Katju, who retired in 2011, is known for provocative commentary on politics and social issues. Despite frequent controversies, he remains active on social media with a large following. His remarks have once again triggered public outrage.
