Judge should live like hermit, work like a horse; no place for flamboyance: SC

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: There is no place for flamboyance among judges, the Supreme Court observed on Thursday as it advised those joining judicial service to refrain from using social media. Dealing with a suo motu case against a decision of the Madhya Pradesh high court to terminate two women judicial officers, a bench headed by justice BV Nagarathna came across a Facebook post by one of the two officers in which she shared her experience in courts on Facebook. The case pertains to the termination of two civil judges - Aditi Kumar Sharma and Sarita Chaudhary - who were inducted into the Madhya Pradesh judicial service in 2018 and 2017 respectively. Senior advocate R Basant, who is a former high court judge, supported this viewpoint and said that a judge should be willing to keep away from social media and those who are not willing to do this should not join judicial service. The then district judge Anuradha Shukla, under a notification of the high court, was authorised to record ACR of judicial officers of district Satna from April 2021.
