SC stays proceedings before two Calcutta HC benches after row between judges
A five-judge bench of the Supreme Court stayed all proceedings pending before two benches in the Calcutta high court that witnessed an unprecedented face-off between two judges there, observing that the turn of events warranted the court’s intervention. The law officers pointed out that the division bench opted to suspend the order of the single judge without there being any appeal formally filed by the state government. On Wednesday and Thursday, the two benches of the high court passed contradictory orders on a petition alleging corruption in admission of students at medical colleges using fake caste certificates, with the larger bench on Thursday finally declaring the single judge’s orders void ab initio and quashing an FIR that CBI had lodged as per the single judge’s directive. Going ahead, CBI on Thursday registered an FIR as per the single judge’s order, but the division bench disapproved of it. The division bench also sought an explanation from the high court registrar general why CBI was not informed its official did not have to receive the documents from the single judge because the order of the agency probe had been stayed.
