💨 Abstract

The Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court, Justice Arun Bhansali, recused himself from hearing a PIL concerning the filling of vacant judge posts in the court. The PIL, filed by senior advocate Satish Trivedi, highlights the high court's current state of functional paralysis due to operating at less than 50% of its sanctioned strength, resulting in an insurmountable backlog of over 11 lakh cases.
