Madhya Pradesh HC Upholds Judge's Dismissal for Unsatisfactory Work
Imagine a judge, like a teacher, whose job is to make sure everyone follows the rules.
This judge, named Kaustubh Khera, was making people do squats as a way to say they were sorry.
The High Court in Madhya Pradesh decided he wasn't doing a good job.
They looked at his work and decided he wasn't suitable.
The judge thought he was fired for doing something wrong, but the court said it was because his work wasn't good enough.
It's like a boss deciding someone isn't the right fit for the job because they're not performing well.
The High Court agreed, saying it was up to the leaders to decide if someone should keep working there.
Madhya Pradesh High Court upheld the dismissal of Judge Kaustubh Khera.
Khera was accused of making lawyers and police personnel do squats.
The dismissal was due to "unsatisfactory performance."
The bench ruled the discharge was not due to misconduct.
Khera filed an RTI to understand the reason for his dismissal.
