Advocates urge ACJ not to administer oath of office to Victoria Gowri until SC hears case against her elevation as judge of Madras HC

The Hindu  

A group of advocates led by N.G.R. Prasad made a written representation to Madras High Court Acting Chief Justice T. Raja on Monday requesting him not to administer oath of office to advocate L. Victoria Gowri as a judge of the High Court until the Supreme Court hears a case against her elevation on Tuesday. After a series of quick developments that took place one after the other on Monday regarding her elevation, Mr. Prasad urged the ACJ to await the orders to be passed by the Supreme Court which had initially decided to hear the case on Friday but later advanced it to Tuesday considering the urgency. Therefore, senior counsel Raju Ramachandran made a mention once again at 2 p.m. and the CJI’s Bench directed the Supreme Court Registry to take the case on board and list it before the appropriate Bench on Tuesday itself since the Centre had notified her appointment as an additional judge of the High Court. Srivastava as a judge of the Gauhati High Court before he took the oath, Mr. Prasad urged the ACJ to not administer oath of office to Ms. Gowri alone until the Supreme Court hears the case against her.
