KPSC recruitment cases: Supreme Court allows Karnataka to replace SIT members

The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) denounced social media calls on Monday for Chief Justice Surya Kant's resignation. They stated that such statements undermine the judiciary and interfere with justice administration. SCAORA specifically disapproved of public statements demanding Kant's removal.

The calls came after Kant's assertion that protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar were a law-and-order issue outside his jurisdiction. The Congress Kerala unit, which posted the call on X, claimed Kant's remarks made the matter his domain. However, Kant said the issues were already under Supreme Court review, and discussing them would conflict with separation of powers and judicial propriety.
