\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Supreme Court on Monday asked Attorney General R Venkataramani and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to look into the issue of the suspension of Jammu and Kashmir education department lecturer who had argued before the top court in a matter related to the abrogation of Article 370.<\/p>\n

A five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud took note of the suspension of Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, who had argued before the top court on August 24 as petitioner in-person in the case.<\/p>\n

The bench, also comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai and Surya Kant, asked Venkataramani to talk to the J-K Lieutenant Governor and look into the issue.<\/p>\n

“This should not happen. Someone arguing before this court gets suspended\u2026,” the bench said.<\/p>\n

Venktaramani replied that he would look into the issue.<\/p>\n

Mehta said after the news of Bhat’s suspension was published in a newspaper, he checked with the administration and he was informed that there were various reasons behind the lecturer’s suspension, including that he has been regularly filing petitions before different courts.<\/p>\n

“We can place before the court all the materials related to his suspension,” Mehta said.<\/p>\n

Sibal countered, “Then, he would have been suspended earlier, why now. I have the suspension order of Bhat and it says that he has argued before this court and therefore the suspension. This is not fair. This is not how democracy should function.”<\/p>\n

The bench said if there are other reasons then it is another matter but if a person gets suspended in close proximity of arguing before this court, then it needs to be looked into.<\/p>\n

Mehta said he agrees that the timing was not appropriate and he would look into it.<\/p>\n

On August 24, Bhat had appeared in-person before the top court and argued against the Centre’s August 5, 2019 decision to abrogate Article 370.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
