AJIT KUMAR vs STATE OF JHARKHAND .

The Supreme Court upheld the Jharkhand High Court's dismissal of a writ petition challenging the removal of a subordinate judge under proviso (b) to Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India. The Court found that the High Court correctly determined that an inquiry was not practicable due to concerns over the validity of judgments rendered by the appellant. The Court affirmed that the removal was justified and legal, as it was based on a resolution from the Full Court of the High Court of Jharkhand recommending such action without an inquiry.
