The Sikkim High Court has suspended a district judge after the judge claimed that he was targeted for filing a complaint against a High Court judge.
The Sikkim High Court announced the suspension of a district judge earlier this week. The judge, who had recently filed a complaint against a High Court judge, alleged that he was subjected to retaliation following the complaint.
The court’s decision came a few weeks after the judge’s allegations were made public. While the High Court has not released a detailed explanation for the suspension, it has stated that the matter is under investigation.
The suspension means the judge will not be able to carry out his judicial duties until the investigation is complete. The case has drawn attention to the challenges faced by judicial officers who raise concerns about alleged misconduct within the judiciary.
