The Free Press Journal
|October 04, 2025
In an unprecedented crackdown on misconduct within the judiciary, the Bombay High Court has dismissed two senior district-level judges for serious lapses in conduct. Both were relieved from service with immediate effect on October 1.
The judges in question are Dhananjay L. Nikam, District Judge-3 and Additional Sessions Judge at Satara, and Irfan R. Shaikh, formerly Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Ballard Pier, later posted as Civil Judge (Senior Division) at Palghar. Their dismissals, approved at the highest levels, mark one of the rare instances of such decisive action against sitting judicial officers.
Nikam's removal followed allegations of corruption.
