The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed “grave concern” over the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) Class 8 textbook chapter on “corruption” in the judiciary. The NCERT introduced a section on “corruption in the judiciary” in its new Class 8 Social Science textbook, marking a significant shift from earlier editions that largely focused on the structure and role of courts. Chief Justice Surya Kant said he has taken cognisance and may initiate suo motu action. “Please wait for a few days. Bar and Bench all are perturbed. All High Court judges are perturbed. I will take up the matter suo motu. I will not allow anybody to defame the institution. Law will take its course,” the Chief Justice said.
