A group of retired judges has termed Home Minister Amit Shah’s attack on Opposition Vice-Presidential candidate B Sudershan Reddy over the Salwa Judum judgement “unfortunate” and said it would be wise to refrain from “name-calling”.
The group of 18 retired judges, including the likes of former Supreme Court justices Kurien Joseph, Madan B Lokur and J Chelameswar, also said that “prejudicial misinterpretation” of the top court’s verdict by a high political functionary is likely to have a chilling effect on its judges.
