New Delhi: Former Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and other retired judges on Monday criticised the much-publicised statement of Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan on disenfranchisement, saying that he should not have made these remarks on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls as the issue is sub judice before the apex court.
Sitting judge Justice Bhuyan, while delivering the valedictory address at the 19th Justice Bodh Raj Sawhney Memorial Moot Court Competition at NALSAR University of Law on Sunday, said any process that "disenfranchises" millions of Indian citizens was "intrinsically arbitrary" and a "negation" of the constitutional order.
