Supreme Court issues notice to Centre and CBI on misuse of judges' remarks online

The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Centre and CBI regarding the misuse of judges' oral remarks in court proceedings. The petition highlights that fragments of court proceedings are being selectively edited, turned into memes, and commercially circulated as viral content, stripped of their constitutional and procedural context.

The court is examining how digital platforms are exploiting judicial statements for monetization without authorization or accuracy. The notice seeks responses from government authorities on steps needed to address this emerging issue of judicial remarks being weaponized in the digital sphere.
