‘Baseless’: Rajasthan High Court judge responds to allegations of ‘misuse of powers’

Acting Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court, Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, has responded to allegations of "misuse of powers" made against him. In a statement, he categorically denied the allegations, calling them "baseless" and accusing the accuser of acting out of "animosity". The allegations came to light after Supreme Court judge Justice Sandeep Mehta wrote letters to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, accusing Sharma of misconduct and seeking his transfer to another High Court. Sharma has submitted his position to the Supreme Court and is awaiting a decision from the CJI.
