On September 25, 2024, the Supreme Court of India issued a stern reminder that no part of India can be referred to as “Pakistan” in any context. The rebuke came after a Karnataka High Court judge made comments that appeared to draw comparisons between regions of India and Pakistan during a recent judgment.
The SC bench made it clear that such remarks were inappropriate and uncalled for, especially in a legal setting. The court emphasized that India’s territorial integrity and national identity must be upheld at all times, and drawing such parallels only serves to create unnecessary divisions.
The incident has sparked widespread discussions about the responsibility of judicial officers to maintain decorum in their language and avoid controversial statements that can be misinterpreted. The Karnataka judge is now facing scrutiny, with many calling for an official apology and clarification of the comments made in the courtroom.
