Apex court refuses to expunge 'rotten' remark against Allahabad HC

New Delhi: The Supreme
Court Friday refused to expunge the remarks that something was
"rotten" with the Allahabad High Court while hearing a petition of
the lower court.
An apex court bench headed by
Justice Marakandey Katju said that they will issue a clarification
in respect of their Nov 26 judgement wherein the controversial
remarks were made.
The Allahabad High Court filed the petition Wednesday following
the decision of the full bench of the high court, which took
exception to the adverse remarks by the Supreme Court.
In its verdict last month, the Supreme Court bench slammed the
high court for passing "shocking and outrageous" orders on
"extraneous considerations" that shook the faith of the common man
in judicial functioning.
Asking the chief justice of the Allahabad High Court to take some
strong measures for "house cleaning", the apex court said that
kith and kin of certain judges were "shamelessly" taking advantage
of their relationship and enjoying luxurious life.
The court's stinging censure of the Allahabad High Court came in
the wake of the orders of a single-judge bench of the high court,
in which he directed the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board to
allot Waqf land to Raja Khan for running a circus and swings in
Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh.
The order of the single judge was set aside by a division bench of
the high court. It was this order of the division bench that Raja
Khan had challenged in the apex court.
The apex court upheld the bench ruling and said the order of the
single judge of the high court was passed on "extraneous
considerations".
