SC judge questions delay in transferring Rajasthan HC acting chief justice
Supreme Court judge Justice Sandeep Mehta wrote three letters in August to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, saying his appeals to transfer Rajasthan High Court's acting chief justice were ignored despite alleged evidence of favouritism.
Supreme Court judge Justice Sandeep Mehta wrote three letters in August to Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant, asking why his 'fervent appeals' to transfer Rajasthan High Court Acting Chief Justice (ACJ) Sanjeev Prakash Sharma had been 'ignored' despite what he called 'clear evidence' of favouritism. In the first letter, dated August 2, Justice Mehta described a 'grim and disturbing scenario' in his parent High Court in Rajasthan. He said the Acting Chief Justice, who is due to retire on September 26, had shown a 'total lack of leadership qualities' and had 'exhibited conduct unbecoming of a leader of the institution' on more than one occasion. Justice Mehta also reminded the CJI that he had been making 'fervent appeals' for the appointment of a regular Chief Justice.
