NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court cautioned that individuals should exercise prudence when expressing opinions about court orders, following remarks made by the Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy against a court decision.
In a recent development, the SC has closed proceedings against A Revanth Reddy, the Telangana CM , for his contemptuous comment on the court's order granting bail to TRS leader Kavitha in the Delhi Excise scam case. The court's decision came after Reddy tendered an apology for his remarks.
The Supreme Court emphasised that while the right to fair criticism of judgments is welcome, one should not transgress limits. The court further stated that all constitutional functionaries should maintain mutual respect for one another and refrain from transgressing limits.
Last month, Supreme Court had taken strong exception to Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy's reported statement that "there is also a talk that Kavitha got bail because of the deal between BRS and BJP"
The Supreme Court had observed: What sort of statement is this by a responsible chief minister. That might rightly create apprehension in the minds of people. Is this a kind of statement which should be made by a chief minister. A constitutional functionary is speaking in this manner?
Following, SC ruling, Reddy issued an apology, stating that his comments were "taken out of context". "I have the highest regard and full faith in the Indian Judiciary. I understand that certain press reports dated 29th August, 2024 containing comments attributed to me have given the impression that I am questioning the judicial wisdom of the Hon’ble court," Reddy had said.
