Uncomfortable Courtroom Questions Do Not Amount to Public Humiliation : Supreme Court

  • Case Name: Smt. Dhanlaxmi @ Sunita Mathuria & Anr. v. State of Rajasthan & Ors.

The Supreme Court ruled that statements made in court and uncomfortable questions posed during proceedings do not amount to public humiliation, as they are necessary for ascertaining the truth.

The bench dismissed a petition challenging statements made during Rajasthan High Court writ proceedings. The petitioner alleged defamation and humiliation due to police claims about her marital status.

The Court found the grievance misconceived, stating that courtroom discussions may be uncomfortable but are essential for justice.

It upheld the dismissal of multiple review applications, reaffirming that discomfort does not equate to humiliation.
