ஹைகோர்ட் நீதிபதிகள் விலகி வழக்கு நடக்கவில்லை முன்னாள் நீதிபதி ஊழல் - பதவி நீக்க வழக்கு - சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட் கண்டிப்பு

 The Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant expressed serious concern over the situation, warning that "three or four so-called senior advocates" are creating havoc in the High Court and manipulating situations to force recusals. [1]


Key details of the Supreme Court's intervention include:
  • The Case: Former judicial officer Amrish Kumar Jain's challenge to his 2022 termination from service. [1, 2]
  • The Recusals: Four judges—including then Chief Justice Lisa Gill, Justice Sanjiv Berry, Justice Ashwini Kumar Mishra, and Justice Dipak Sibal—had recused themselves. [1, 2]
  • Supreme Court Order: The Supreme Court declined to transfer the case to another state, instead directing the Acting Chief Justice of the High Court to form a new, two-judge bench. [1]
  • Strict Instructions: The judges nominated to the new bench have been specifically advised not to recuse themselves, regardless of any situation created by anyone. [1]
  • Next Steps: The matter is directed to be heard on a day-to-day basis, and the Registrar General is to submit a compliance report to the Supreme Court once a judgment is reserved. [1]
