Rajasthan HC Acting Chief Justice Denies Allegations Amid Calls for CJI Intervention
Rajasthan High Court Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma has denied allegations of misuse of power and integrity concerns raised by Supreme Court judge Sandeep Mehta in letters to the Chief Justice of India (CJI). Sharma called the accusations baseless and motivated by animosity, submitting evidence to the CJI and urging patience until a decision is made. The People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) has called for the CJI's prompt intervention to protect the court's institutional integrity amid these claims. The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended appointing a new Chief Justice for Rajasthan High Court.
