SC closes case over NCERT textbook's judiciary corruption chapter after apology
- The Supreme Court has closed suo motu proceedings over references to “corruption in the judiciary” in an NCERT Class 8 textbook.
- The court took the decision after NCERT replaced the controversial chapter following recommendations from a Centre-appointed expert panel.
- The controversy centred on a section in the Class 8 Social Science book Exploring Society: India and Beyond that referred to corruption in the judiciary.
- The SC had earlier ordered the book’s nationwide withdrawal; NCERT later issued an unconditional apology and assured that the material would be revised.
