'Not Interested In Any Awards': Karnataka High Court Dismisses Plea For Declaring Judges Eligible For Padma/ State Awards

Live Law  

"We are not interested in getting awards. We are only interested in working," said Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi of the Karnataka High Court on Friday. The remarks were made while dismissing a public interest litigation seeking directions to the Union and State government to declare that sitting judges of the Supreme Court and High court are also eligible for Padma/ State awards. The petition filed by Dr. Vinod Kulkarni had also prayed to reserve one award of Karnataka Rajyotsava Award for the sitting Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court or the next senior-most judge. The plea also claimed that making judges of the Supreme court and High Court to lead an isolated, secluded, asocial life is against 'Indianisation of Judiciary', a concept envisaged by the Chief Justice of India, N V Ramana.
