New President Shenoy was also in the news albeit for different reasons.
He filed a petition alleging that only a very limited number of cases are listed each day before one of the sitting judges of the High Court, Justice Mary Joseph. He sought a direction to the Registrar General of High Court to have a standard criterion for listing matters before various courts in accordance with the directions of the Chief Justice. The petition and the appeal against it were dismissed.
A contempt of court case was initiated against him by the High Court at around the same time and is still pending.
Another petition filed by Shenoy is also pending before the High Court. The plea has challenged a show cause notice issued to him by the Bar Council of Kerala (BCK) after Justice Joseph wrote to the BCK alleging that Shenoy had misbehaved in her court.
In this plea, Shenoy has alleged that documents are being leaked from the High Court Registry to news agencies.
