SC Issues Notice On Petition Challenging Appointment Of Two Additional Judges Of Rajasthan HC [Read Petition]

Live Law  

The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, issued notices to Justice Virendra Kumar Mathur and Justice Ram Chandra Singh Jhala, on a Petition challenging their appointment as Additional Judges of Rajasthan High Court.The Petition, filed by Jaipur based lawyer Mr. Sunil Samdaria, contends that the appointment is contrary to the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Kumar Padma Prasad v. Union. The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, issued notices to Justice Virendra Kumar Mathur and Justice Ram Chandra Singh Jhala, on a Petition challenging their appointment as Additional Judges of Rajasthan High Court. Mr. Samdaria, thereby, asserts, “Thus, Respondent No.2 and Respondent No.3 neither held ‘judicial office’ nor they were part of judicial service of the state on the date of issuance of warrant by President of India, thus they were neither qualified nor eligible to be appointed as Judge of High Court on the date of issuance of warrant of appointment by President of India making their appointment as an Additional Judge of Rajasthan High Court as non est and void ab initio.” The Petition further relies on the judgment in the case if S.P. 2 and Respondent No.3, as Additional Judges of the Rajasthan High Court do not meet the constitutional standards and prescription of Article 224 and of Article 217 of the Constitution of India, therefore their appointment are constitutionally impermissible and thus deserves to be quashed and set aside.”
