The Supreme Court of India Friday deleted its observations criticising an Allahabad High Court judge and barring him from hearing criminal matters till his retirement, saying that it wasn’t the top court’s intention to embarrass the HC judge.
The apex court also acknowledged that Chief Justice of the High Court is the “master of the roster” and should be the one to make decisions on such matters.
The observations by the top court come a day after a group of judges of the Allahabad High Court had written to Chief Justice Arun Bhansali urging him to convene a full court meeting in response to the Supreme Court’s recent order to have Justice Prashant Kumar removed from the criminal roster.
