HC judge seeks expunction of 'disparaging remarks' made by Gauhati HC in case decided by him as trial judge

A Gauhati high court judge has approached the Supreme Court seeking the removal of disparaging remarks made against him by a high court bench. The judge, who was previously a special NIA court judge, had convicted several individuals in a terror-related case. However, the high court acquitted these individuals and made remarks against the judge in its verdict. The judge argues that the remarks were unnecessary and have harmed his reputation and peace of mind.
