New Delhi, Dec 5 : Advocate Prashant Bhushan on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it was a “very strange” situation where a batch of pleas concerning the delay in appointment or transfer of judges in higher judiciary was deleted from the causelist.

Bhushan apprised a bench of Justices S.K. Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia that the matter was not listed for hearing despite a fixed date given in the previous order. He urged that an explanation must be called from the Registry over non-listing. 

At this, Justice Kaul said: “I am sure that the Chief Justice (of India) must be aware of it … I have not deleted the matter or expressed unwillingness to take it. Some things are better left unsaid some times.”
