The Madras High Court has frowned upon its own Registry for attempting to exercise judicial powers by segregating connected cases and listing one set of those cases before a Division Bench and the other before a single Bench.
A division bench of Chief Justice Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan and Justice Arijit Banerjee suggested that in such cases, proceedings for misconduct should be initiated against errant officers.
The Supreme Court today dismissed the petition filed by Advocate Reepak Kansal seeking direction to the Registry not to discriminate, humiliate the litigants and to give equal treatment to all litigants by avoiding Pick and Choose Policy as adopted by the Registry and its Section Officers.
