Legal Question in Legal Ethics in India
Judgments
A Judge working as an additional judge in a high court in India was not confirmed as a permanant Judge on expirey of his term as additional judge by the Cheif Justice of the State High Court on mental unsuitablity of making judgements on even petty case. However,after a lapse of few years of not getting his confirmation ,his application for filling up a post of president of a consumer commission was considered as a retired judge and he was appointed. Agitated, few lawyers, filed a writ petition in High court and got the appoinment order quashed. But he sat in the bench for quite sometime and passed orders. Enquiries from consumer commission office indicate the orders passed are effective. Will it not be proper on the part of the National Consumer Forum president or the apex court to order all the judgments made by the conserned judge be sent for review to the competant judge who gets apoointed later as the conerned judge was already disqulified to hold the post on incompetancy? How the orders made will be taken as by mentaly competant judge?
