CHANDIGARH:

This is the same case where on May 23, the bench of chief justice Sheel Nagu had rejected objections to withdraw the case from a judge after "oral and written complaints" received by the chief justice. Justice Nagu in the May 23 order had said, the decision was taken to "preserve the dignity and honour of the institution". After withdrawing the case, the chief justice had ordered the listing of the case before him. The decision to withdraw the case was taken on May 10, two days before the judge, who had heard the matter, was to pronounce the final order.
