flag India's Supreme Court criticizes judges issuing rulings close to retirement, calling it a troubling trend.

flag India's Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, expressed concern over judges issuing numerous rulings shortly before retirement, calling it an "unfortunate trend" that may reflect improper motives. flag The court addressed a petition from a Madhya Pradesh judge suspended 10 days before retirement, noting that such timing raises questions about judicial propriety, especially when orders are later challenged. flag While the court dismissed the direct appeal, it directed the High Court to review the judge’s representation within four weeks without staying the suspension. flag The remarks highlight growing scrutiny over judicial conduct near retirement, emphasizing that while appealable errors don’t justify suspension, decisions made under questionable circumstances may warrant scrutiny.
