Judges Question Supreme Court Justice Bhuyan's Remarks on Electoral Rolls
Former Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai and two retired Delhi High Court judges have criticized sitting Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan for his public remarks concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. They questioned the "judicial propriety" of a serving judge commenting on such an issue, with one former judge stating Bhuyan "should have thought a thousand times" before speaking. The criticism suggests that Justice Bhuyan's comments on the Election Commission (EC) could also be applied to the judiciary itself.
