SENIOR DESIGNATION OF YATIN OZA:

Supreme Court today is scheduled to take up for hearing petition filed by Yatin Oza challenging the decision of the Gujarat High Court of revoking Oza's senior designation.

Oza has also assailed Rule 26 of the High Court of Gujarat Senior Designation Rules, 2015 for being ultra vires Articles 14 and 19 of the Constitution.

#SupremeCourt #SeniorDesignation
Oza's senior gown was recalled after contempt of court proceedings were initiated against Oza for levelling allegations of corruption against the Court registry.

Justice Kaul observes "it is an unfortunate incident"

Singhvi: I (Oza) have apologised on a number of ocassions but then I was told that my apology will not be accepted. Then it was said that I didn't argue on merits
Shekhar Napdhade reiterates that Oza has a "heart of gold" even though some temperament issue
Supreme Court allows petitioner (Yatin Oza) to file an SLP against the Gujarat HC judgment.

Matter to be heard next on September 29
