The Supreme Court cautioned courts against making comments that may be construed as “misogynistic” or directed towards a particular “gender or community” and said no part of Indian territory can be called Pakistan.

The apex court’s strong observations came as it closed the suo motu proceedings over Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda’s alleged objectionable comments during court proceedings. The Supreme Court also noted that he had apologised for his observations during open court proceedings on September 21.
