Gujarat High Court sends notice to its own judges and a sitting Supreme Court judge
IN a Public Interest Litigation, yesterday, the Gujarat High Court sent notices to 27 judges, one of them a sitting judge of the Supreme Court, two of them present Chief Justices of High Courts and eight of them sitting judges of the same court. The rest are retired judges of the Gujarat High Court.
The issue is allotment of housing plots for the judges.
The Advocate General sought for two weeks' time to challenge this order in the Supreme Court, but the Court did not allow that and directed the Collector Ahmedabad and the Registrar of Cooperative Societies to be present in Court today when the matter would be listed before another Bench.
