PATNA, India, July 30 -- Patna High Court issued the following judgment on July 14:
Re. I.A. No. 2 of 2025 in L.P.A. No. 699 of 2025 : Leave granted. 2. I.A. No. 2 of 2025 stands allowed.
Re. L.P.A. No. 699 of 2025 : 3. We have heard Mr. Piyush Lall, the learned Advocate for the appellant/the High Court of Judicature at Patna and Mr. Vikas Kumar, the learned Advocate for the State.
4. This is an appeal by the High Court against the observations and directions of a learned Single Judge vide his order dated 24.06.2025 passed in Cr. Revision No. 71 of 2025, holding that the learned Special Judge, SC/ST Act, Kishanganj does not know the basic tenets of criminal law and, therefore, he does not have any right to discharge his duties as an Additional Sessions Judge, Kishanganj. The learned Single Judge has also observed that he is of the view that the Sessions power of the concerned Officer be taken away forthwith. The further direction in the order is that the Registrar General should pass necessary orders immediately on the basis of such observations made by the learned Single Judge and the concerned Judge be placed only in the civil side to dispose off civil cases and appeals.
5. To clarify further, the learned Single Judge has held that the Officer should be kept under watch of the Patna High Court in its administrative side about his judicial work for the next six months.
6. A harsh but an absolutely unmerited and undeserved comment on a Judicial Officer.
