The record must disclose cogent material showing misconduct, corrupt motive, extraneous consideration, recklessness, favouritism, or another lack of bona fides; here, the general complaint was unsupported, the complainant was not examined, the supporting witness did not establish the charge, and defence evidence, including the public prosecutor's testimony, supported the genuineness of the orders. A wrong or debatable judicial order, by itself, is not misconduct, and findings based only on such an inference are perverse when unsupported by evidence. The removal and appellate orders were therefore unsustainable. en-us Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:25:10 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=466701 Disciplinary removal of a judicial officer cannot rest solely on the omission to cite Section 59-A in four bail orders.
