'I Consider It A Certificate Of Independence' : Justice Akil Kureshi On Centre's "Negative Perception" About His Judicial Orders

Live Law  

Justice Akil Kureshi, the outgoing Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court, made certain significant statements in his farewell speech on Saturday. Justice Kureshi's non-elevation to the Supreme Court, despite being the senior most Chief Justice in the country, has become a point of discussion among the legal fraternity, amid the widespread perception that the Central Government is not in his favour due to certain orders passed by him against the ruling party during his stint as a judge of the Gujarat High Court. In 2018, when he was about to become the Acting Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court, Justice Kureshi was transferred to the Bombay High Court as a much junior judge. Following the objections by the Centre, the Supreme Court collegium modified the resolution and proposed Justice Kureshi's elevation as the Chief Justice of the Tripura High Court instead of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
