NEW DELHI: On Friday, the Supreme Court expressed serious concerns over the premature listing of a bail application related to a money laundering case, which had originally been scheduled for a hearing on October 14. To the surprise of the court, the case was unexpectedly listed ahead of schedule.
A Division Bench comprising Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Pankaj Mithal was visibly displeased with the irregularity, suspecting potential manipulation of the listing process. The bench hinted that someone might be deliberately influencing the scheduling of the case through inappropriate means.
In a strong rebuke, the court emphasized its intolerance toward any such actions, stating:
“We are not going to tolerate this at all. Somebody is going to our Registry and manipulates the listing contrary to previous order.”
Following these remarks, the court directed its Registry to provide a detailed explanation for how the premature listing occurred. This incident highlights the Supreme Court’s firm stance on ensuring that its processes are followed transparently and without external interference.
The court’s immediate response underscores the judiciary’s commitment to safeguarding the integrity of its scheduling process and preventing any attempts at manipulation within the system.
