Centre Clears Justice Sanjay Kumar Agrawal for Top Rajasthan HC Post
What Happened
The Centre has appointed Justice Sanjay Kumar Agrawal, currently a judge of the Chhattisgarh High Court, as the Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. The move comes amid an ongoing controversy involving Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, who has faced allegations of corruption, nepotism, favouritism and misuse of administrative powers from Supreme Court judge Justice Sandeep Mehta.
Key Takeaways
Justice Agrawal's appointment ends Rajasthan High Court's nearly year-long wait for a regular chief justice and may help stabilize the court's administration, even as the allegations against the acting chief justice continue to be examined through judicial processes.
