The acting chief justice of the Rajasthan High Court publicly asserted that a deliberate campaign had been orchestrated to impede his elevation to a senior judicial position. He made the allegation during a recent court proceeding, stating that the timing of the campaign was intended to undermine his career progression.

According to the report, the judge highlighted that the alleged effort was aimed at influencing the decision-making process regarding his promotion. He did not name specific individuals or agencies behind the campaign, but emphasized the impact such actions could have on the independence of the judiciary.

The statement, covered by The Times of India, adds to ongoing discussions about transparency and fairness in judicial appointments. No official response from the concerned authorities has been recorded as of now.
