Encouraged in Supreme Court and High Court! What is the order for which all the judges of Allahabad High Court wrote a letter to CJI

New Delhi: 13 current judges of the Allahabad High Court have written a letter to the Chief Justice, appealing to not implement the Supreme Court’s order of August 4. This is the same order under which the right to hear criminal cases was taken away from a judge.

What was said in the letter?

All 13 judges of the High Court have demanded that a full court meeting of the High Court be called. It should be discussed whether it is necessary to implement the instructions of the Supreme Court or not. Judges believe that this order is a matter of constitutional values and freedom of the High Court.

What was the order of the Supreme Court?

On August 4, the Supreme Court expressed displeasure over the functioning of the High Court judge. Questions were raised on how to grant bail in a criminal case. A few days before this, the Supreme Court expressed displeasure with the Judge of the Allahabad High Court to allow criminal action in a civil case.

A bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice R. Mahadevan directed a judge of the Allahabad High Court not to hand over criminal cases in an unprecedented order on August 4, as he had retained the summons of criminal nature “accidentally” in a civil dispute. The same bench reacted strongly to the High Court’s decision in another case. The bench said, “There is another order of the Allahabad High Court from which we are disappointed.

Justice Pardiwala said this in the order

In the order of August 6, Justice Pardiwala said, “It is very important to consider the subject matter first. After that the court should look into the relevant issue. Finally, the court should consider the plaintiff’s argument and then implement the true principles of the law.” The court said that the High Court order is legally flawed and indicate neglect towards established jurisprudence.
