"Wise To Refrain From Name-Calling": Ex-Judges On Amit Shah's Remarks On Opposition's Veep Pick

A group of retired judges has termed Home Minister Amit Shah's attack on opposition vice-presidential candidate B Sudershan Reddy over the Salwa Judum judgement "unfortunate", and said it would be wise to refrain from "name-calling".

The group of 18 retired judges, including the likes of former Supreme Court justices Kurien Joseph, Madan B Lokur and J Chelameswar, also said that "prejudicial misinterpretation" of the top court's verdict by a high political functionary is likely to have a chilling effect on its judges.
