The Supreme Court set aside dismissal of a Madhya Pradesh judicial officer accused of granting bail inconsistently in Excise Act cases and corruption, with Justices JB Pardiwala and KV Viswanathan noting his 27-year unblemished service and absence of due process.
The Supreme Court expressed concern over a growing trend of judges issuing multiple orders just before retirement, questioning judicial discipline. Calling it an unfortunate trend, the Court likened last-minute orders to a batter hitting sixes in final over.
