New Delhi: An additional sessions judge of the Karkardooma court, who was hearing several cases related to the northeast Delhi violence and had been critical of the 'casual, callous and farcical" probe of Delhi police has been transferred.
Vinod Yadav has been transferred to Rouse Avenue Court as Special Judge (Prevention of Corruption Act) and Special Judge (ASJ) Virender Bhatt will now be transferred to the Karkardooma court in place of Yadav.
Yadav has recently passed several orders criticising the Delhi Police investigation in the matter. He recently observed that "this is really a sorry state of affairs," while taking note of the fact that there was no progress in the investigation in a case being probed by state police connecting to the northeast Delhi violence.
The public notice issued on Wednesday by the Delhi High Court having the names of the judges who have been transferred stated, "The Chief Justice and Judges of this Court have been pleased to make the following postings/transfers in the Delhi Higher Judicial Service with immediate effect."
