‘You Must Be Pained’: SC Allows Harish Salve to Recuse Himself

Supreme Court also expressed disappointment at the criticism from those who ‘did not even read its order’.

The Supreme Court of India has allowed Senior Advocate Harish Salve to recuse himself from becoming the amicus curiae in the court’s suo motu case on the COVID-19 crisis.

Court accepted Salve’s request, but also informed him that the question of conflict of interest doesn’t arise as the decision to appoint him as amicus was taken unanimously by the Bench.
