`Criticising judges an unhealthy trend'

KOCHI: Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi came down heavily on people criticising the Judiciary for verdicts that they did not like. The trend would erode the credibility of the Judiciary, he said after inaugurating a three-day annual general meeting of the Federation of Press Trust of India Employees' Unions here on Sunday. Mr. Ravi said that a judicial pronouncement might not be acceptable to all but criticising judges in the public and attacking them personally did not augur well for a democratic set up. — Staff Reporter
