New Delhi: The Supreme Court has suspended the promotion of 68 lower court judges, including the judge who sentenced Rahul Gandhi to 2 years imprisonment.

Against this two senior civil judges Ravikumar Maheda and Sachin Pratap Rai Mehda filed a case in the Supreme Court. MR. A bench headed by Shah heard and passed the verdict today.
In it, the judge said, “The State Government’s order accepting the recommendation of the High Court and promoting 68 persons as District Judges is illegal.
