Third Supreme Court Judge Recuses from Hearing Surendra Gadling's Bail Plea
Supreme Court Justice Shree Chandrashekhar recused himself from hearing advocate Surendra Gadling's bail plea related to the 2016 Surjagarh iron ore mine arson and 2018 Elgar Parishad cases, marking the third recusal by a Supreme Court judge in this matter. Previous recusals by Justices M.M. Sundresh and Atul S. Chandurkar occurred without reasons. Gadling, accused under the UAPA and other charges, has been incarcerated for over seven years, with his bail plea facing multiple adjournments and delays in the Supreme Court.
