Supreme Court Justice Sends Fourth Letter Alleging Misconduct by Rajasthan HC Acting Chief JusticePreviousNext

Supreme Court Justice Sandeep Mehta has sent a fourth letter to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant accusing former Rajasthan High Court acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma of interfering in an internal judicial enquiry, breaching confidentiality, and abusing administrative powers. Earlier letters alleged maladministration, nepotism, and misuse of power. Justice Sharma, who went on leave amid protests, has denied the claims. The Supreme Court collegium recommended a new Chief Justice, Sanjay Kumar Agarwal, replacing Sharma.
