[Marxistindia] Hold Justice Muralidhar's Transfer in Abeyance

Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Hold Justice Muralidhar's Transfer in Abeyance
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) notes with concern the midnight transfer of
Justice S. Muralidhar to Punjab and Haryana High Court from his present
position as the third senior most judge of the Delhi High Court.
 
This transfer is part of a recommendation of the Supreme Court collegium,
which was protested against by the Delhi High Court Bar Association for
well-argued judicial-administrative considerations. Post haste
implementation appears to be a selective response for what unfolded in the
Delhi High Court yesterday.  The fact remains that the Bench headed by
Justice Muralidhar called the bluff of the Delhi police in trying to shield
the hate speeches of top BJP leaders in Delhi in the course of the Delhi
assembly election and after.
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) urges the Government that in these times of
acute confidence deficit, the transfer order must be kept in abeyance to
reinforce the confidence of the people in the judicial system of the
country.
