New Delhi, Feb 25: The Supreme Court on Wednesday took suo motu cognisance of the contents of Class 8 NCERT textbook referring to the corruption in the judiciary and termed it a matter of \u201cgrave concern.\u201d
\nA bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi was urged by senior advocate Kapil Sibal that \u201cchildren of class 8 are taught about corruption in the judiciary. This is a matter of grave concern.\u201d
\nThe CJI said, \u201cI will not allow anybody to defame the institution. Law will take its course.\u201d He added, \u201cAs head of the institution, I have done my duty and have taken cognisance \u2026 This seems to be a calculated move. I won\u2019t say much.\u201d Justice Bagchi said the book seemed to be against the basic structure of the Constitution.
\nThe CJI said, \u201cPlease 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.\u201d Later, Justice Kant said that the top court has taken suo motu cognisance of the matter.
\nCorruption, massive backlog of cases, and lack of an adequate number of judges are among the \u201cchallenges\u201d faced by the judicial system, according to the new social science NCERT textbook for class 8.
\nThe section \u201ccorruption in the judiciary\u201d in the new book states that judges are bound by a code of conduct that governs not only their behaviour in court, but also how they conduct themselves outside it.<\/p>\n
