Two hashtags are trending on Twitter today – #BlackDayForIndianJudiciary and #SupremeCourtIsCompromised . The reactions are very sharp indeed.

A fresh petition has been filed before the CJI seeking directions to bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala to withdraw the observations against Nupur.

The observations by Justice Surya Kant may lead to a massive polarisation.
