What Happened

Professor Michel Danino filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court asserting the controversial NCERT judiciary chapter resulted from collective effort by 15 team members, not three individuals. He contends the chapter was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting judicial contributions to human rights. Danino disputes claims that drafts circulated among few members, citing a Google Group with over 40 participants. The Supreme Court had blacklisted Danino, Suparna Diwakar, and Alok Prasanna Kumar in March from curriculum roles.
