A bench of Justice Ajay Bhanot and Justice Divesh Chandra Samana made the observations while commenting on the social media narrative surrounding a recent incident of courtroom violence at the High Court.
The Court said that "propagandist scale of falsehoods" regarding court proceedings poses a serious threat to the credibility of the judicial process and majesty of the Courts.
It added that reputations of judges are built over a lifetime in the profession but falsehoods on social media can destroy them irreparably in a matter of seconds.
"There is no justice for judges who are prey to such social media propaganda," the Court said.
