Bombay High Court:<\/strong> A Division Bench\u00a0 comprising of S.C. Dharmadhikari and Prakash D. Naik JJ, denied a request for recusal during hearing of an income tax appeal along with a criminal writ petition for want of any substantial reason. The Court, while hearing the submission of the respondent for recusal took note of the growing trend among litigants to request recusal of judges.<\/p>\n

The respondent submitted that one of the Hon\u2019ble Judges inspires no faith towards his impartiality. The Bench after patiently hearing and recording statements made by the respondent, relied upon Subrata Roy Sahara<\/em> v. Union of India<\/em>, (2014) 8 SCC 470<\/a>, wherein, then JS Khehar, J had upheld the Delhi High Court\u2019s view that a party cannot insist on a judge recusing himself. Further, relying on Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record<\/em> v. Union of India<\/em>, (1993) 4 SCC 441<\/a>, the court observed that a request for recusal must never be acceded to, unless justified. The Bench noted that when a Judge takes an oath of office, prescribed by the Constitution, implicit in that is there is no ill will, much less any enmity and when a judge is supposed to decide a case impartially, he has to be strict.<\/p>\n

Upon careful analysis, the Court found that this was not the first time the respondent had made a request for recusal as he had filed a request for recusal to members of the ITAT in the earlier instance which dragged the proceedings endlessly. The Court condemned acts aimed at obstructing justice such as \u2018Bench avoiding\u2019 firmly. The Court also noted that the respondent did not put forward any statement which substantiates his claim that there is a reasonable apprehension of bias and prejudice. While denying the request, in order to accommodate the respondent, the Court listed the next hearing on 09.10.2017. [Commissioner of Income Tax – 24 v. Shri M.H Patel, Income Tax Appeal No. 584 of 2014, decided on 06.09.2017]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
