Justice Akil Kureshi

The outgoing chief justice of the Rajasthan High Court, Justice Akil Abdulhamid Kureshi, on Saturday said the government's negative perception about him is a certificate of his judicial independence.

The Supreme Court Thursday said it will hear on November 13 the issue related to implementation of the decision of the top court collegium by the Centre on elevation of Bombay High Court judge Justice Akil Kureshi as the Chief Justice of the Tripura High Court.

Appointment and transfer of judges form "the root of the administration of justice" and interference in that "does not augur well" for the institution, the Supreme Court said on Monday.

Justice Akil Kureshi will not be appointed as the Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court, the Supreme Court Collegium on Friday weeks after the centre expressed reservation over the top court's recommendation. The panel has now recommended his transfer to the Tripura High Court as the Chief Justice.

The Supreme Court said it will deal with a petition next week seeking direction to the Centre to notify the elevation of Justice Akil Kureshi as the Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

A recommendation for the appointment of Justice Akil Kureshi of the Gujarat High Court as the Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court had been returned by the government, sources said. The Supreme Court Collegium has been asked to reconsider the recommendation.

The Centre on Friday told the Supreme Court that it would take a call within a week on the Collegium's May 10 recommendation to elevate Justice Akil Kureshi as Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court.
