Supreme Court Imposes Ban on NCERT Class 8 Textbook Section on Judicial Corruption

The Supreme Court banned further publication, printing, or digital circulation of the NCERT Class 8 textbook section titled "Corruption in the Judiciary." A bench led by the Chief Justice of India directed NCERT to withdraw the content immediately. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed strong displeasure over the inclusion of such material in school textbooks. He questioned how it was approved and directed Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to hold accountable those responsible. NCERT issued a statement acknowledging the issue after it surfaced publicly.
