Moily takes exception to advocates’ protest in K’tka HC

“Advocates should observe the rule of law,” he said,apparently expressing displeasure over the November 9 incident during which Justice Dinakaran,who is facing land grabbing charges,was pushed and two judges locked in the court hall for refusing to suspend hearing of cases during the protest.

“We will not discuss issues relating to appointment of judges and elevation of judges in public. There are a set of procedures the government and the Supreme Court Collegium follow. Merely on the basis of the Collegium recommendation judges are not appointed,” Moily said,when asked about the Collegium keeping the elevation of Justice Dinakaran to Supreme Court in abeyance.

On violation of parole norms by Manu Sharma,convicted in the Jessica Lall murder case,he said the Union Home Ministry was now working on new set of guidelines.
