THE LAWYERS ASSOCIATION FOR CONSTITUTION (‘LAFC’) has written to the Chief Justice of India questioning the special listing and muted live proceedings in the case of Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam.
LAFC has sent an open letter to the Chief Justice of India protesting the listing of two petitions filed over strictures passed against Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam. The letter, dated September 24, objects to the matter being placed before a particular bench outside the ordinary roster, and to the muting of the video conferencing feed during the hearing.
“The out-of-turn listing of the case has received special treatment and tends to set a wrong precedent,” the LAFC wrote. The letter noted that Roopam “also happens to be the daughter of the Chief Election Commissioner of India,” namely Gyanesh Kumar.
