In a letter written in his personal capacity, Shenoy has requested the Governor not to clear any post retirement appointments of Justice Joseph until an enquiry is conducted into all the allegations against her.
One among the allegations is that Justice Joseph was writing judgments even after she demitted office on June 2 and uploading them on the High Court website after backdating them.
After he wrote about the issue to the Chief Justice of the Kerala High Court, Chief Justice AJ Desai issued a slew of guidelines to be followed by judges and their staff on the retirement, transfer or elevation of judges.
The guidelines included a request to retiring, transferred and elevated judges to hand over their signed judgments and orders of all cases in which verdicts were reserved to the court registry on or before their last working day or at least by midnight on the retirement day.
