'Chilling effect on me': Upset at Supreme Court remarks, Allahabad HC judge says won’t hear bail petitions
A Lucknow bench judge of the Allahabad High Court has stepped down from the bail roster, citing Supreme Court criticism over a bail grant. The apex court had called the order "shocking and disappointing," questioning the reasoning in a dowry death case. The judge expressed a "demoralising and chilling effect" from the SC's observations and requested no further bail matters.
