A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana said that the order was unprecedented and sought to know how protection can be granted for future cases which have not even been registered.
“This is unprecedented order. How can future course of action be stayed? It is shocking and three of us (judges) feel that it is unprecedented. This will require hearing,” the Court said.
The Court went so far as to say that it will request the Chief Justice of the High Court to reassign the matter to another judge and not the one who passed the interim order.
“We will request the High Court to dispose of the petition by another judge and not the same judge within 2 weeks. We request the Chief Justice to take it up himself or by any other judge and we will keep this matter pending (SLP) in (Supreme) Court,” CJI Ramana said.
