Justice Markandeya Katju

After he said in a Facebook post that the Supreme Court had seriously "erred in law" by reducing the sentence of the convict in the 2011 rape and murder of 23-year-old Soumya in Kerala, Justice Markandeya Katju has been asked to explain his views in court.

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Markandeya Katju's blog 'Who are the real Indians' has become a roaring hit in Malayalam dailies and gone viral on social media.

Former Supreme Court judge Markandeya Katju has alleged that a Madras High Court judge was not sacked despite corruption allegations because the previous Congress-led government was pressured by its Tamil Nadu ally.

Just two days after he slammed Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan over attacks on journalists in the state, Press Council Chairman Justice Markandeya Katju today hit out at the Bihar government. Speaking at the Patna University, he said that there is no freedom of press in Bihar and anyone against the state government is targeted.

The Supreme Court on Monday said the police personnel involved in fake encounter killings should be given death sentence and hanged. A bench comprising of Justice Markandeya Katju and Justice C K Prasad said as custodians of law they are expected to protect people and not eliminate them as contract killers.

Under criticism from Muslim groups, Supreme Court judge Justice Markandeya Katju on Monday apologised for his controversial comments.
