Question

Orders passed by the hon'ble supreme court in which the reference of air 1956 sc 116 was made

Answer 1

The observations, comments and allegations made and the order passed by a learned Single Judge of the Rajasthan High Court, Mr. Justice Shethna, in relation to a disposed of writ petition, by sending for its record in a totally unrelated and unconnected criminal revision petition, which have been put in issue in this appeal, touch not only upon the discipline of the High court and the powers of the Chief Justice to assign cases and allot Benches but also the larger issue of judicial propriety. the order directing issuance of notice of contempt to the Chief Justice of the High Court raises a fundamental question about the jurisdiction of a single Judge to issue such a notice in the established facts of the case. It is not individuals but the prestige of the Institution which is at stake in this case.
