Photo credit: IANS NEW DELHI: Put on the back foot by a Supreme Court intervention, NCERT on Tuesday has released the revised Part 2 of its Class 8 Social Science textbook with the controversial chapter on judiciary stripped of its earlier critical framing and recast as a more conventional civics lesson on justice, constitutional remedies, courts, tribunals and dispute resolution.The biggest shift is in Chapter 4, The Role of the Judiciary in Our Society. The revised version drops the earlier section on “corruption in judiciary” and the discussion on judicial backlog as a key challenge. Instead, it now opens with broader questions: “What is the concept of justice?” , “Why is it important for a just and harmonious society?” , “What is the structure and role of the judiciary in India?” and “What are the alternative modes of dispute resolution?”The earlier version had said the judicial system faced “corruption” and “massive backlog”, and referred to complaints received through CPGRAMS. It stated that the judiciary had an “established procedure for receiving complaints” and that over 1,600 such complaints were received between 2017 and 2021. The passage that drew the sharpest objection said “people do experience corruption at various levels of the judiciary,” adding that efforts were being made to increase transparency and act against corruption.The controversy erupted soon after the book was released in February. The Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance, ordered withdrawal of physical and digital copies, and later said the chapter gave an impression that the judiciary had acknowledged institutional corruption while leaving out its role in protecting constitutional rights and access to justice. NCERT apologised, called the inclusion an “error of judgement” and said the chapter would be rewritten.The revised chapter now leans heavily on constitutional structure. It says the judiciary is “one of the three pillars of the government” and is “independent from the legislature and the executive”. It adds that the judiciary ensures that laws passed by legislatures remain within the “framework of the Constitution” and that the executive does not “overstep its role”. The tone has clearly shifted from scrutiny of institutional shortcomings to institutional explanation.There are substantial additions. A new section on writ jurisdiction explains Articles 32 and 226 and calls the right to constitutional remedies a “right under the Constitution to file a writ petition” before the Supreme Court or high courts. The chapter adds a detailed segment on PILs, describing PIL as “an innovation introduced by the Supreme Court” to address issues of public concern, with examples including the Hussainara Khatoon undertrial prisoners case, M C Mehta’s environmental litigation and the Vishaka guidelines on workplace sexual harassment.The chapter also expands the Supreme Court’s original, appellate, advisory and special leave jurisdictions, and includes references to Articles 141 and 142. It lists 25 high courts, explains subordinate courts, and introduces tribunals such as NCLT, consumer fora, NGT, CAT, APTEL and the Armed Forces Tribunal. A new section on digital technology mentions e-filing, hybrid hearings, live streaming, translation of judgments and the National Judicial Data Grid.Another major addition is alternative dispute resolution. Arbitration, mediation, Lok Adalats and Gram Nyayalayas are explained as ways to reduce the burden on courts. The chapter also notes the replacement of IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act by Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.The fallout went beyond textual changes. The Supreme Court had directed that the three academics associated with the chapter — Michel Danino, Suparna Diwakar and Alok Prasanna Kumar — be disassociated from public-funded curriculum work, though it later lifted the life ban after accepting their explanation. The Centre has said they will not be associated with NCERT work in future.The revised chapter closes by reinforcing the institutional role of courts rather than dwelling on their failings. Its recap says “the judiciary is one of the three pillars of the government” and that its key role is to ensure that justice is served and laws remain within the constitutional framework. It also underlines that the Constitution prescribes separation of powers among the legislature, executive and judiciary, and that the judiciary remains independent of the other organs of government. The end-of-chapter activities, too, now steer students towards civic engagement with courts — writing model letters to the High Court or Supreme Court on social issues, staging a moot court, studying local judicial personalities and interacting with someone associated with the justice system. In effect, the rewritten chapter shifts the classroom focus from corruption and delay in courts to constitutional remedies, access to justice, PILs, digital initiatives, tribunals and alternative dispute resolution.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Representative image The ministry of home affairs (MHA) has warned citizens against a surge in online investment scams, saying cybercriminals are increasingly using messaging platforms such as WhatsApp and Telegram to lure victims with promises of quick, high and guaranteed returns.The advisory, issued by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), urges investors to stay vigilant and verify every investment opportunity before parting with money.Fake WhatsApp and Telegram investment groupsAccording to the advisory, fraudsters create fake investment groups on WhatsApp and Telegram, posing as stock market experts or representatives of reputed financial firms.They attract users by sharing so-called “VIP stock tips”, fabricated success stories and claims of exclusive investment opportunities designed to create a false sense of credibility.Fake trading apps distributed through private linksThe MHA has cautioned users against downloading trading applications through private links shared in chats or social media messages.Cybercriminals persuade victims to install these fake apps instead of downloading them from official app stores, exposing users to financial fraud as well as data theft.Guaranteed returns and VIP stock tipsOfficials have identified promises of “guaranteed returns” and exclusive stock recommendations as major warning signs.The advisory stresses that no legitimate investment or stock market platform can guarantee profits, and such claims should immediately raise suspicion.Fake profits to gain trustInvestigators said fraudsters typically display fabricated profits on fraudulent trading platforms after victims make their initial investments.These fake earnings are used to convince investors to deposit increasingly larger amounts, making the scam appear genuine.Withdrawal blocked unless more money is paidOne of the most common tactics flagged by the ministry involves blocking withdrawals when victims try to access their money.Fraudsters then demand additional payments, claiming they are needed for taxes, processing fees or account verification.The MHA has emphasised that genuine stockbrokers or financial institutions never ask customers to deposit more money in order to withdraw existing funds.Mumbai retired scientist caseThe I4C highlighted the case of a retired scientist from Mumbai who was added to an unknown WhatsApp investment group.According to news agency ANI, he was persuaded to download a fake trading app through a private link and invest increasing sums after being shown fabricated profits.When he attempted to withdraw his earnings, access to his account was blocked and he was unable to recover his money.The ministry has urged people not to trust investment advice from unknown WhatsApp or Telegram groups, avoid downloading trading apps through unofficial links and independently verify brokers and trading platforms before investing.Authorities indicated that raising public awareness is one of the most effective defences against financial crimes facilitated by cyber means. They urged individuals to remain vigilant, independently confirm investment opportunities, and share such warnings with family and friends to help prevent others from becoming victims of online scams.Victims of cyber fraud have been advised to immediately report incidents by calling the National Cyber Crime Helpline on 1930 or filing complaints through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal to improve the chances of fund recovery.Get the latest India news and live updates.
