Seventeenth Judge Recuses from Hearing Uttarakhand IFS Officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi's Case
Seventeen judges, including two Supreme Court judges, four Nainital High Court judges, nine Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) judges, and two district judiciary judges, have recused themselves from hearing cases involving Uttarakhand IFS officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi. The latest recusal by Justice Rajveer Singh Verma of the Delhi CAT Bench concerns a petition challenging a 2021 Uttarakhand government order on IFS officers' appraisal reports. None of the recusal orders have specified reasons, marking an unprecedented judicial record in India.
