Supreme Court Reassigns Two Coal-Scam Judges Following Delhi High Court Request
The Supreme Court has moved judges Sunena Sharma and Dheeraj Mor to new duties after the Delhi High Court asked for their transfer.
Six months after appointing a sessions judge to handle Delhi's coal-scam cases, the Supreme Court removed her, citing an unusual petition from the Delhi High Court. The high court argued that Sharma and another special CBI judge, Dheeraj Mor, were better suited for different responsibilities. The decision reshuffles the bench handling the high-profile investigation. Legal editor Abhinav Garg, who covers court affairs in Delhi, noted the rarity of such a request.
Why it matters
The reshuffle could affect how the high-profile coal-scam investigation proceeds in Delhi.
