Justice Sandeep Mehta has written a fourth letter to the Chief Justice of India, alleging that Rajasthan High Court Judge Sanjeev Prakash Sharma interfered in an internal judicial inquiry and breached confidentiality.
Justice Sandeep Mehta of the Supreme Court has dispatched a fourth written communication to the Chief Justice of India, formally accusing Rajasthan High Court Judge Sanjeev Prakash Sharma of meddling in an ongoing internal judicial inquiry and violating the confidentiality of the process.
The allegation emerges amid a broader dispute among judges of the Rajasthan High Court, where concerns over procedural propriety and inter‑bench conduct have been raised in recent weeks.
Mehta’s letter claims that Sharma’s actions compromised the integrity of the inquiry, prompting the senior judge to seek intervention from the apex court’s chief administrator.
The Chief Justice of India has not yet issued a public response, and the matter is expected to be examined by the Supreme Court’s internal oversight mechanisms.
Legal analysts note that such inter‑court accusations are rare and could lead to formal disciplinary proceedings if substantiated.
