SC to Hear Judicial Officer's Plea Against Delhi HC's Critical Remarks

• The Supreme Court agreed to hear a plea from a judicial officer challenging critical remarks made by the Delhi High Court.
• The Delhi High Court had directed the officer to undergo refresher training in matrimonial laws due to concerns over his adjudication of cases.
• The High Court's November verdict strongly disapproved of the officer's handling of matrimonial matters, citing conflation of distinct statutes and reliance on non-existent provisions.
• A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice on the plea but refused to stay the High Court's order at this stage.
• The High Court had set aside the family court's judgment, stating the officer's conduct disturbed judicial conscience and threatened justice administration.
