Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that a High Court Judge appointed under the Commission of Inquiry Act can concurrently perform judicial duties, as such appointments do not require demitting judicial office. The Court found that the Vacation Judge's actions in entertaining a writ petition outside the High Court's seat were irregular but did not invalidate the interim order issued. The Court emphasized that the Judge's dual role was permissible when the Commission was not in session, thus upholding the interim relief granted to the appellant.
