Supreme Court Closes Case on NCERT Textbook Chapter on Judiciary Corruption
The Supreme Court closed suo motu proceedings regarding a controversial Class 8 NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption after being informed the chapter was withdrawn and replaced following expert panel revisions. The bench clarified that a previous statement about the curriculum not being placed before committees was a Solicitor General submission, not a court observation. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta emphasized the curriculum's non-collective approval, while senior advocate Arvind Datar sought to prevent prejudice against academicians involved.
