By TCN Staff Reporter,
Lucknow: The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday admitted a petition challenging the appointment of Justice Syed Rafat Alam as Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court. The petition is likely to come up for hearing on Wednesday.
The petition has been filed by a local lawyer Ashok Pandey. He challenged the appointment on the ground that a judge who has been serving as a Justice cannot be the Chief Justice of the same High Court. Justice Alam has been a regular Justice at Lucknow for past 15 years. For a brief period he was transferred to Bihar, his home state, as a judge in the Patna High Court but he was soon transferred to Lucknow Bench of High Court.
