New Delhi, June 10 -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday took serious exception to the constant threats and attacks faced by former Bombay high court judge, justice (retd) Gautam Patel, and his family, observing that no judge can pass any judgment if they are openly threatened for their verdicts.
A bench of justices Satish Chandra Sharma and Sanjeev Sachdeva said, "We read in the newspapers that judges who are passing judgments are facing threats. No judge can pass any judgment this way."
The top court referred to the news report showing how the former high court judge's daughter and her family in London have been threatened and even attacked over the 2024 judgment he passed settling the succession issue in the Dawoodi Bohra community.P9
