There is a Constitution bench judgment of SC which says judges don’t serve at the pleasure of the President.

So, President cannot reject the resignation of a sitting Judge.

Supreme Court hears case of a man removed from CISF service because of unauthorised absence:

ASG SD Sanjay: absence is of 11 days.

Justice BV Nagarathna: this is a case for imposing cost with dismissal. We have been shouting. Pendency, pendency. Who is the biggest litigant? His dismissal is disproportionate. High court granted him relief. Instead of giving opinion that you will not go to Supreme Court, you still proceed against him. What had we said in the SCBA function? (referring to SCBA’s national conference where Justice Nagarathna recently spoke extensively about government being responsible for case backlog). We will impose cost in this case. We do not find any reason whatsoever to interfere with the impugned order. We fail to understand as to why the Union of India and others have approached this court. We dismiss this SLP with cost of Rs. 25000.

Justice Nagarathna: we have taken the SCBA conference very seriously. It was not just to go to some resort and come back. We made preparations, we did homework. We spoke. Not to forget.

Government is the single largest litigator, we are carrying the burden of the evasiveness of the government in the judicial system. The government publicly expresses concern about judicial backlog while simultaneously feeding that backlog through relentless litigation: Supreme Court Justice BV Nagarathna

This questions came in a law officer !

One candidate entered B as answer and the other one entered D.

Recruiting body accepted only B as correct answer.

Now #SupremeCourt held that D should also be taken as correct answer !

Now both candidates will get marks !

“Deemed resignation” seems like another way to remove unfavourable judges:

SC judge who doesn’t accept FCC appointment deemed retired

HC judge who doesn’t consent to transfer deemed retired

SC judge nominated as CJ but doesn’t accept deemed retired, along with 2 not nominated

#WATCH | Delhi: Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud addresses the commemoration of the Special Lok Adalat in the Supreme Court of India.

He says, " ...A very senior secretary from the Govt of India and former civil servant...said that he never knew that Supreme Court deals with such small cases because we are so used to looking at the Supreme Court dealing with the all the big ticket cases...what is lost to so many people are the kind of small work we do in the Supreme Court...When the Constitution was made by stalwarts like BR Ambedkar, they did it with a mission...this was a court which was being set up in a poor society where there was an absence of access to justice...idea behind the establishment of this institution was...this would be a court reaching out to the lives of common citizens...purpose of Lok Adalat has been to take the justice to the homes of people..."
