Supreme Court Reverses Order on Justice Prashant Kumar, Allowing Criminal Case Hearings

The Supreme Court has modified its earlier decision concerning Justice Prashant Kumar of the Allahabad High Court. Initially, the court had instructed him not to preside over criminal cases. However, following objections from the Allahabad High Court judges, the Supreme Court has withdrawn its directive. The initial intervention stemmed from a civil dispute on August 4th, where the Supreme Court took a strict stance on Justice Kumar’s handling of a case involving criminal proceedings.
