The Supreme Court banned NCERT’s Class 8 Social Science book over a “judicial corruption” chapter and issued contempt notices. Here’s what happened ...
On February 25 the Supreme Court registered a suo motu case after the Indian Express had reported that the NCERT Class 8 book contained a section on 'corruption in judiciary'.
NCERT identified errors in the Class 8 Social Science chapter on the judiciary and will rewrite it in consultation with relevant authorities.
A chapter in the new NCERT Class 8 Social Science textbook mentions ‘corruption at various levels of the judiciary’ and ‘massive backlog’ as among the ‘challenges’ faced by the judicial system.
