CJI Stunned: SC Registry Officials Act 'As Per Their Whims,' Deep Probe Ordered

• CJI Surya Kant expressed shock after a dismissed petition reappeared on the cause list before a different bench.
• He noted that some Registry officials, serving for decades, act as if they are "permanent" while judges are in transit.
• CJI vowed a "deep probe" into the Registry's functioning, stating he would fail his duty if the system isn't corrected.
• The incident occurred during a hearing on the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986.
• Despite a request to withdraw the plea, CJI insisted it remain to address administrative lapses.
