Top Court Slams Allahabad HC Judge, Bars Criminal Case in Civil Dispute
The Supreme Court on Thursday sharply criticised an Allahabad High Court judge for his handling of a civil dispute. The Court deemed the judge’s decision to allow criminal proceedings in a purely civil matter as erroneous and a blatant misuse of legal process.
This unprecedented action highlights the Supreme Court’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the judicial system. The judge has been temporarily removed from hearing criminal cases.
The apex court’s strong rebuke underscores the gravity of the situation. The matter has been adjourned for further hearing, indicating a thorough investigation into the judge’s conduct is underway.
This incident raises serious concerns about the potential for abuse of power within the judiciary and its impact on the public’s faith in the legal system. The Supreme Court’s swift action sends a clear message that such lapses will not be tolerated. The outcome of this case will set a crucial precedent for future judicial proceedings.
