The Centre told the Supreme Court to restrain itself from
making hard-hitting observations on Public Interest Litigation (PIL) matters
saying these had an impact on several issues plaguing the country. Since the
Supreme Court pulled up the government saying that the judges were also
citizens and knew the problems faced by the country, and made it clear that it
was at least ‘solving problems’ and was in no way criticising the government. The
exchange happened when the court was hearing a PIL on the inhuman conditions in
1,382 prisons in India and the bench mooted the idea of setting up of a
committee to look into the conditions of incarcerated prisoners. The court
asked the Centre to file details of the proposed committee by August 17.
