Case Note & Summary
These writ appeals, filed under Section 4 of the Karnataka High Court Act, 1961, arise from a common order dated 27-09-2013 passed by a learned Single Judge in a batch of writ petitions (WP Nos. 41684-691/2012). The lead appellant is the Registrar General of the High Court of Karnataka, while the respondents include the State Government’s Department of Law, Justice & Human Rights, the Department of Public & Administrative Reforms, and a large number of judicial officers, including District Judges, Family Court Judges, Labour Court Presiding Officers, and members of tribunals. A separate set of appeals (W.A.Nos.6249-56/2013) is filed by several individual judicial officers. The proceedings pertain to service conditions of judicial officers, and the appeals challenge the Single Judge’s directions given in the writ petitions. The exact grievances, facts, legal issues, arguments, and the final outcome are not discernible from the extracted portion of the judgment, which only contains the cause title and procedural entries. The matter was heard by a Division Bench comprising the Hon’ble Chief Justice D.H. Waghela and Justice B.V. Nagarathna on 03-04-2014. Senior Counsel S.S. Naganand represented the appellants, while Additional Government Advocate A.S. Ponnanna appeared for the State, along with several other advocates for various respondents. No substantial reasoning, ratio, or operative part is included in the provided text; hence, a comprehensive summary cannot be constructed.
