Judges Must Refrain From Making Derogatory Remarks Against Parties Unless Absolutely Necessary For Deciding Case

Case: Sunny Gupta v Union Territory of J&K and ors

Coram: Justice Mohan Lal

Case No.: CRM(M) No. 493/2021

Court Observation: “It is the general principle of highest importance to the proper administration of justice that derogatory remarks are not to be made against persons unless absolutely necessary for decision of the case to animadvert on their conduct.”

“Not only do judges have power to make binding decisions, their decisions legitimate the use of power by other officials. The Judges have the absolute and unchallengeable control of the Court domain. But they cannot misuse their authority by intemperate comments, undignified banter or scathing criticism of counsel, parties or witnesses”.
