Retired judges, including Justices (retd) Deepak Verma, Krishna Murari, Dinesh Maheshwari and M R Shah, have accused critics of adopting deceitful tactics with apparent attempts to influence the judicial process by questioning the integrity of courts and judges.

He urged the Supreme Court-led judiciary to be strong against such pressures and ensure that the sanctity and autonomy of the legal system is protected.
