The Supreme Court rebuked Karnataka High Court judge Justice Srishananda for controversial comments made during a recent landlord-tenant dispute hearing. Justice Srishananda referred to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and made a misogynistic remark towards a woman advocate, prompting widespread criticism after the video circulated on social media. A five-judge Supreme Court bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, highlighted the importance of judicial decorum and sought a report from Karnataka's Chief Justice regarding the incident. The Supreme Court's response underscores concerns over maintaining professionalism and impartiality in judicial proceedings.
