NDTV
President Ram Nath Kovind said indiscreet remarks, even if made with good intention by judges, give space for dubious interpretations to run down the judiciary.
President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday said that it is incumbent upon the judges to exercise "utmost discretion" in their utterances in the courtrooms.
The President's remark came when he was addressing the valedictory address on the occasion of Constitution Day celebrations organised on Saturday by the Supreme Court.
Speaking at the event, President Kovind said, "Constitution Day is a great festival of our democracy. It is a day to reiterate our debt to the known and unknown men and women who made it possible for us to lead our lives in a free republic. It is also a day to reiterate our commitment to keep walking on the path they forged for us."
The President said that the Constitution is the roadmap of our collective journey.
