According to the lawyers, this group is employing pressure tactics to influence judicial outcomes, particularly in cases involving political figures and corruption allegations. These actions, they argue, pose a significant threat to the democratic fabric and the trust placed in judicial processes.
The lawyers highlighted several concerning methods, including the propagation of false narratives about a so-called ‘golden era’ of the judiciary, aimed at discrediting current proceedings and undermining public confidence in the courts.

Highlights of the prominent Indian lawyers’ letter :
📌 A group of lawyers expresses concern over attempts by a vested interest group to influence the judiciary and defame the courts, particularly in politically sensitive cases involving corruption.
📌 The interest group is accused of creating false narratives about the judiciary’s past to undermine current court proceedings and public trust.
📌 Accusations include ‘bench fixing’, disrespectful comparisons of domestic courts to those in lawless regimes, and direct attacks on judges’ honor.
📌 Tactics employed by the interest group involve selective criticism or praise of court decisions based on their political agenda, described as a “My way or the highway” approach.
📌 Concerns are raised about:
📌 Political flip-flopping, where politicians alternate between accusing individuals of corruption and defending them in court.
📌 The use of underhand tactics and dissemination of false information to influence judicial appointments and outcomes.
📌 The lawyers note the strategic timing of these tactics around election periods, drawing parallels to similar activities in 2018-2019.
📌 Senior members of the bar have requested the Supreme Court to take protective measures against these attacks to maintain the judiciary’s integrity.
📌 The letter calls for a united stand in support of the judiciary to ensure it remains a strong pillar of democracy, urging decisive leadership in addressing these challenges.
