The plea by one Abdul Jaleel, which also prayed for raising the retirement ages of all judges in the country to 75 years, was dismissed by a division bench of Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly.
The bench observed that while the petitioner had raised serious allegations of corruption against the judiciary, the Court cannot pass any order considering the nature of the reliefs sought.
“Though the petitioner – party-in-person has alleged that some of the judges were hand in glove with the criminals and obtained post retirement postings, which allegations are very serious, having regard to the reliefs sought for, we are not inclined to advert to the same and no direction in the nature of mandamus as prayed for, can be granted,” the judgment stated.
