Court directs state to move SC within 10 days against Justice Rajesh Kumar Gupta’s order suggesting disciplinary action against first ASJ of Shivpuri, Vivek Sharma.
In a recent letter addressed to the CJI and members of the collegium, the Association pointed out that nearly one-third of the current Bench consists of judges from other states.
A senior advocate at the SC recounted a conversation with an usher. 'He told us that the judge's flask wasn't water, but a spirit of a different kind to keep His Lordship happy.'
'Something very very disturbing,' remarked Justice BR Gavai, who was heading the three-judge bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice Abhay S Oak.
Two of the 8 names recommended for 5 high courts last week were cleared by SC collegium only after central government asked for 'positive reconsideration'.
Top court also asserts that govt has limited role to play in transfer of judges. Govt will adhere to timelines on judicial appointments, Attorney General responds.
Videos and clips of high court proceedings have a solid viewer base across platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram—and the judges are the undoubted stars of the show.
Law minister Rijiju said filling vacancies in the high courts is a continuous, integrated and collaborative process between the executive and the judiciary.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
