India Legal Publishes First Comprehensive Record of Judicial Recusals

India Legal, a prominent legal news platform, has published a document titled "A Record of Recusals" that lists instances where judges have stepped aside from cases. The compilation draws on publicly available court filings and notices to create a single reference point for researchers and the public.
The record aims to improve transparency in the judiciary by making it easier to track when and why judges recuse themselves. It covers a range of courts across the country, without naming specific individuals beyond what is already in the public domain.
The launch of the record comes as civil society groups and legal experts call for greater accountability in the judicial process. India Legal says the database will be refreshed regularly as new recusals are reported.
No additional commentary or analysis was provided in the release, and the portal has invited feedback from readers to enhance future updates.
