Supreme Court Stays Judge's Reinstatement Over Train Misconduct

Supreme Court Stays Judge's Reinstatement Over Train Misconduct

A judge from Madhya Pradesh was accused of doing very bad things on a train.

He was said to have drunk alcohol, misbehaved, and even urinated in the train compartment where a woman was sitting.

The train's staff and other passengers complained, and he was arrested.

In court, the judge was found not guilty because the people who saw what happened did not support the case.

But the judge's employers found him guilty and fired him.

Later, a higher court said he should not have been fired and that he should get his job back.

Now, the highest court in the country is looking at this decision and has asked the state to explain why the judge should not be punished.
