Advocate Anant Malik also argued that “the concerned judge was told that I went to HC in revision against her order and the next date was April 5, 2023, however, she said “I will do what I want”.
“It was also stated that while recording witness statements, the judge used to teach the witnesses and warned them to state accordingly which is something very strange,” Advocate Malik argued in court.
