The Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, strongly rebuked remarks made by Justice V Srishananda of the Karnataka High Court, asserting, "You cannot call any part of this country as Pakistan." During proceedings on September 25, the Supreme Court expressed grave concern over the judge's comments referring to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan," deeming such remarks as fundamentally against the nation's territorial integrity. The Supreme Court emphasised that judges must exercise caution and avoid casual comments that could be perceived as misogynistic or prejudicial to any community. Although the Court decided to close the suo motu proceedings after Justice Srishananda expressed regret, it emphasised the importance of restraint in judicial discourse, particularly given the pervasive nature of electronic media.
