SC urges mutual respect among constitution's three wings to avoid unnecessary friction

It is expected that all three wings of the Constitution show mutual respect for each other's functioning as "unwarranted comments" bring friction unnecessarily, the Supreme Court said on Friday. Observing that a fair criticism of judgments is always welcome but one should not "transgress the limits", a bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan said one should be careful enough while making comments about orders passed by courts. The court's observations came while dealing with the issue pertaining to Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's comments on the top court granting bail to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise scam. The bench, while taking note that Reddy has tendered an apology before the court, said it does not wish to proceed further on the issue.
