Edit: Open letter to CJI
Filed by advocate Sunil Kumar Singh, the PIL sought a direction to restrain Reddy and his subordinates from holding such press briefings against judges.
The petitioner wanted the top court to issue a show-cause notice to Reddy asking him to explain why suitable action should not be taken against him. Maintaining that people’s confidence in judiciary was at stake, Singh has demanded urgent hearing of the matter. — TNS
