thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Questions Gujarat High Court Order on Revenue Tribunal Chairman
The Supreme Court criticized a Gujarat High Court order directing the in-charge chairman of the Gujarat Revenue Tribunal to step down on administrative leave, calling it a "shocking order" that undermines public faith in the judiciary. The High Court had questioned the chairman's handling of two conflicting orders in 2024 regarding condonation of delay. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the plea filed by the chairman, who is a retired judge with an unblemished record, and issued notice to the respondents.
