\u00a0The Supreme Court, or any court
\nfor that matter, is not a cloistered virtue. The judgments of the courts are
\nmatters of record and can be critiqued by citizens of the country. The only
\nlimitation is that no motives should be attributed to the judges who deliver
\nthose judgments. However, it is a fact that judges are often influenced by their
\npredilections and prejudices. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna is
\nlargely correct when he states that while serving as a judge, he or she does
\nnot belong to any religion or caste. Nonetheless, there have been many
\ninstances in which judges have revealed their religious biases. For example,
\nwhile deciding Shayra Bano’s case on triple talaq, Justice Nazeer did not sign
\nthe judgment because it conflicted with his religious beliefs.<\/span> The Shayara Bano case was a landmark<\/span> judgment by the Supreme Court of India, where the
\npractice of instant divorce was declared unconstitutional. Shayara Bano
\nchallenged the practice, arguing that it violated fundamental rights like equality<\/span><\/strong> and personal liberty<\/span><\/strong> under Articles 14
\nand 21 of the Constitution. The court ruled that Triple Talaq was arbitrary and
\nnot an essential religious practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

This decision was a significant step toward
\ngender justice and the empowerment of Muslim women in India. \u00a0Justice Nazeer <\/span>should have
\nrecused himself if he wished to remain detached from the case. To be fair to
\nhim, he did not express any bias in the Ayodhya case but remained aloof to
\ndemonstrate his agreement with the judgment of the other four judges.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two parts to any judgment: ratio decidendi and obiter dicta<\/i>.
\nRatio decidendi<\/i> refers to the legal principle or rule that forms the
\nbasis of a court’s judgment. It is the binding part of the decision that sets a
\nprecedent for future cases. Obiter dicta<\/i> refer to remarks, observations,
\nor opinions made by the judge that are not essential to the decision. These
\nstatements do not have binding authority but may be influential in later cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In simple terms, ratio
\ndecidendi<\/i> is the core legal reasoning that establishes a rule, while obiter
\ndicta include additional comments that may provide guidance but are not legally
\nenforceable. This is why judges should exercise extra caution when making any obiter
\ndicta<\/i> remarks. The way two judges made obiter remarks about Nupur Sharma
\nwas ludicrous, to say the least. They should have expressed regret in open
\ncourt for their comments, which became more significant than the actual
\njudgment. Therefore, the delicate case of Tamil Nadu Governor N Ravi should
\nhave been handled with greater sensitivity, which it duly deserved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since it involves interpreting the Constitution, the Supreme Court must
\ngive it the importance required to revisit and review the case.<\/span><\/p>\n
