(Judicial Quest News Network)
The Delhi High Court Advocates Bar Association has passed unanimous resolution condemning the allegation levelled by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy against Supreme Court Judge, Justice NV Ramna and other Judges of the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
The letter mentions that “the media has reported that Shri Jagan Mohan Reddy, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh has written a letter dated 06.10.2020 to Hon’ble Chief Justice of India levelling serious allegations againstHon’ble Mr. Justice NV Ramana Judge Supreme Court of India and other Hon’ble Judges of the high Court of Andhra Pradesh.
A resolution to this effect was passed in view of the media reports that Reddy addressed a letter to the Chief Justice of India, levelling serious allegations against Justice Ramana.
1. In his letter addressed to Chief Justice of India Justice SA Bobde, Cm Reddy had alleged “With a sense of pain and anguish at the politicisation of institutions personally monitored by sri. N.Chandrababu Naidu through Honourable sitting Judges of Supreme Court, facts would clearly demonstrate that the august institution of the High Court is being used to destabilize and topple the democratically elected Government of the State of AP with indelible trial leading back to the overt and covert actions of Sri.N.Chandrababu Naidu through Hourable” Sri Justice N.V.Ramana.”
2. “Justice NV Ramana has been influencing sittings of the High Court including the roster of a few selected Honourable Judges and instances of how matters important to Telugu Desam Party have been allocated to few Honourable Judges are enclosed in the annexure along with copies of orders passed. The above clearly demonstrate the nexus of Sri Justice NV Ramana, TDP, and few Honourable Judges of the High Court”
“Justice Ramana proximity to Chandrababu Naidu is well known. I am making this statement with utmost responsibility. I may only bring it to your notice that former judge of the honourable Supreme Court. Justice Chelameshwar, placed this fact on record with EVIDENCE.
The letter also alleged that since the new government undertook an inquiry into the actions of naidu during his 2014-2019 regime, it is now clear, that a sitting Supreme Court Judge “started influencing the course of administration of justice in the State, through the Chief Justice…”
“Writing and circulating the ill-founded letter dated 06.10.2020 written by Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy to Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, which unfairly and without reason casts serious aspersions on the alleged conduct off Hon’ble Mr. Justice NV Ramana, Judge Supreme Court of India and Hon’ble Judges of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh.
The Delhi High Court Bar Association Condemns this balatant Attempt to shake the confidence of the public at large in the judicial institution of India. Justice N V Ramana next-in-line to be Chief Justice of India
Recently a petition was also filed in Supreme Court seeking directions to Reddy to refrain from making public statements or holding press conferences to malign the “august institution of the Supreme Court” and its judges.
