The Supreme Court has stayed a Madhya Pradesh High Court order that reinstated a civil judge dismissed for alleged misconduct on a train in 2018. Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta described the judge's alleged actions, including urinating in an inebriated state in the presence of a woman co-passenger, as "shocking" and "disgusting." The apex court questioned the High Court's decision to quash the termination, noting the seriousness of the allegations despite the judge's acquittal in a related railway case. The court issued notice on an appeal challenging the reinstatement.
