It does not.
The key principle is "Look at the context. The context gives meaning. If one statement is taken out of its context and if it is used in another context, the entire meaning changes.
Here in this judgement, look at the context in which this reference is made : "It is shameful that incidents of crime and violence are happenning in the country were mega epics like Ramayan and Mahabharata are written thousand of years ago" and then he goes describe the issue in those mega epics.
In no way, he is using these parts as "Evidence" are "Support to a finding".
No faults can be found in the judgement simply on the ground that he referred to mega epics of the India.
