The letter addressed to Registrar (Judicial) stated the following:
“Some shocking steps seem to have been taken by whosoever is behind the conduct of this case since-
i. firstly, my advocate on record has been changed;
ii. Shri Javed Sheikh, the special counsel appointed by the Wakf Board who has been instructing me in the Wakf Board cases from 2011 and who, in my opinion, is an authority on Wakf Law, has been removed from his post;
iii. Shri Gopal Sankaranarayanan , who had informed the court on the last occasion that I would be leading him and has been instructing me in the matter, has been withdrawn from the case.”
The AG said that removing counsel representing the parties at the last minute was a serious, uncalled for and unwarranted attempt to interfere with the administration of justice.
“This is clearly an act of contempt of court”, the letter reads.
He pointed out the conduct of those behind this case, calling it shocking since his AoR, special counsel who had been instructing him and senior counsel engaged were all changed behind his back.
