Supreme Court Responds to NCERT Textbook on Judicial Corruption Amid Justice System Challenges

Following the Supreme Court's strong reaction to an NCERT textbook section on judicial corruption, the textbook was removed and NCERT reprimanded. The author agrees that portraying the judiciary as corrupt to children is inappropriate but highlights systemic issues like a 5.4 crore case backlog, high legal costs, and poor infrastructure that hinder access to justice for ordinary Indians. The piece calls for judges to acknowledge these challenges and work towards delivering real justice.
