In a “token protest” against the transfer of Justice Gaurang Kanth to the Calcutta High Court, lawyers abstained from work in the Delhi High Court on Monday. The Delhi High Court Bar Association had, on July 15, passed a resolution expressing concern over the Supreme Court collegium’s recommendation to shift Justice Kanth to the Calcutta High Court. The lawyers’ body had contended that it will adversely affect the dispensation of justice on account of reduction in strength of judges in the Delhi High Court and had asked its members to abstain from work on July 17. In the meantime, on July 15, the Centre notified the appointment of Justice Kanth to the Calcutta High Court.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
