Supreme Court Collegium Recommends New Rajasthan Chief Justice Amid Protests Against Acting CJ
Advocates of the Rajasthan High Court protested against Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, alleging misuse of administrative powers and favouritism following letters by Supreme Court Justice Sandeep Mehta to the Chief Justice of India. The protests included sit-ins and strikes demanding Sharma's removal. In response, Sharma opted out of hearing cases until September 5. The Supreme Court Collegium recommended Justice Sanjay K Agrawal as the new Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court amid the controversy, with the collegium set to examine the allegations further.
