Retired Judges Condemn Amit Shah’s Remarks on Justice Sudershan Reddy

A group of retired judges has criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his "unfortunate and prejudicial" remarks about former Supreme Court judge Justice G.S. Sudershan Reddy on his Salwa Judum judgment. 

Shah had allegedly questioned the integrity of Justice Reddy’s judicial conduct in a public speech. The judges termed the comments a misinterpretation and an attempt to undermine judicial independence.

Shah had accused INDIA bloc's candidate Justice B. Sudershan Reddy, who had co-authored the 2011 judgment, of supporting "Naxalism".

They emphasised that attacking a former judge’s reputation harms public trust in the judiciary. The statement calls for restraint and respect toward constitutional authorities.
