Supreme Court Judge Justice Sandeep Mehta Flags Alleged Irregularities In Rajasthan HC

A fresh controversy has emerged in the judiciary after Supreme Court judge Justice Sandeep Mehta levelled a series of allegations against Acting Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court Sanjiv Prakash Sharma in three letters addressed to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant.

The letters, dated August 2, August 10 and August 17, allege misuse of administrative powers, bias in case listings, attempts to benefit influential parties and threats of transfers to judges.

Justice Mehta has urged the CJI and the Collegium to transfer Justice Sharma out of Rajasthan and appoint a senior judge from another High Court as the Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court.
