The Madhya Pradesh High Court temporarily stayed coercive action against a school peon transferred over religious conversion and alleged influence on others. Justice Vijay Kumar Shukla noted the Block Education Officer lacks authority to transfer a Class IV employee.
Justice Chandra Dhari Singh, during his farewell, emphasized that judging goes beyond mere law application; it requires empathy and understanding of those affected. He highlighted the balance of wisdom and compassion, urging legal professionals to restore faith in the judiciary amid rising public skepticism. The legal system must exemplify humanity, not bureaucracy.
