The Court was hearing an appeal filed by a sessions judge against whom the Rajasthan High Court had, while cancelling the bail granted to a person, made adverse observations.
In its order passed in July this year, the High Court noted that the first bail application by the murder-accused in the case was dismissed on merits. However, the second one filed only twenty days later had been allowed on the grounds that the investigation, prior to the filing of the chargesheet, had revealed that it was a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
The High Court passed adverse remarks against the appellant judge after noting that there was no change in circumstances to warrant grant of bail.
Justice Narendra Singh Dhaddha of the High Court had observed,
“…learned Sessions Judge acted arbitrarily and against the judicial propriety. So, the bail granted by the learned Sessions Judge to the accused-respondent deserves to be cancelled…Let a copy of this order be placed before Hon’ble the Chief Justice for taking appropriate action against the learned Sessions Judge on the Administrative side as may be deemed fit by His Lordship.“
