Allahabad HC not a trash bin, says Bar body

Allahabad HC isn't "a trash bin" that a judge facing allegations of misconduct is being repatriated there, the bar association said Friday while protesting the SC's decision to transfer Justice Varma back to his parent court in the wake of unaccounted cash row. "This decision of SC collegium raises a serious question," the bar association said in a letter to CJ Arun Bhansali. Linking Justice Varma's transfer to how judges were being appointed or shifted, the association said Allahabad HC had long suffered a system responsible for "diminishing public faith in the rule of law".
