Supreme Court Judge Calls for Removal of Rajasthan HC Acting Chief Justice

A judge of the Supreme Court of India has formally sought the removal of the Acting Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. The request, lodged in the apex court, cites concerns over the conduct and performance of the acting chief justice. The Supreme Court judge described the action as a firm step taken before his own retirement, emphasizing the need for judicial integrity.

The petition has drawn attention to the internal mechanisms of judicial accountability within India's higher courts. While the details of the allegations have not been disclosed publicly, the move underscores the seriousness with which the Supreme Court views the conduct of senior judges.

Legal experts note that such a request will be examined by the collegium and the President before any decision is taken. The outcome could set a precedent for future interventions in high court administration.

The Rajasthan High Court, based in Jaipur, has not yet issued a formal response, and the matter is expected to be deliberated in the coming weeks.
