Retiring Chief Justice Pritinker Diwaker of the Allahabad High Court has accused former Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra of Harassment, stating, "The then CJI, Dipak Misra, showered on me some extra affection for the reasons still not known to me, which entailed my transfer to Allahabad HC, where I assumed my office on October 3, 2018. My transfer order seems to have been issued with an ill intention to harass me." Speaking at his farewell function, Justice Diwaker acknowledged the unexpected turn of events and praised the support from fellow judges and the legal community in Allahabad. Notably, he thanked the current Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, for rectifying the perceived injustice, highlighting that the recommendation for his appointment as Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court came from the Collegium headed by CJI Chandrachud. HC on Live-In Relationship: Allahabad High Court Calls Live-In Relationships 'Time Pass', Says It Lacks Stability and Sincerity While Denying Police Protection to Inter-Faith Couple.
