CJI Bench seeks explanation from Supreme Court Registry for listing case contrary to Court order but..

Allegations of managing and fixing the Supreme Court Registry have gained traction in the last few days, with the hearing in the suo motu case initiated after allegations of sexual harassment by CJI Ranjan Gogoi came to the fore..The Bench hearing that case remarked more than once that CJI Gogoi has been trying to fix the Supreme Court Registry and disgruntled former employees might have “come together” in response to the CJI’s actions..And it seems the CJI is not done yet..During the hearing of a case yesterday, the CJI came down hard upon the Registry for listing a case contrary to the previous order of the Court..The case Noida Toll Bridge Company Limited v. Federation of Noida Residents Welfare Association came up for hearing on Thursday when CJI Gogoi took exception to the matter being listed too soon..He, therefore, refused to hear the case. Instead, the Bench headed by him passed an order seeking an explanation from the Registry. The order passed yesterday reads:.“Office to report as to why the present case has been listed for final disposal contrary to the order of this Court.”.However, what makes it interesting is that the previous order which was passed on April 12, in fact, directs that the matter be listed in the final week of April..That order reads:.“Having considered the matter and upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties, we deem it appropriate to stay the proceedings in the arbitration and fix the matter for final disposal. List the matter for final disposal in the last week of April, 2019.”.It is not clear why the CJI took objection to the matter being listed on Thursday, since the Registry seems to have been following the previous order of the Supreme Court..Read the two orders below.
