Hi folks,

Those of you who may missed today’s TOI may not have come across an article discussing , among others , two interesting question which are pending adjudication in a PIL before the Delhi High Court. You may read the article http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Can-retired-SC-judges-advice-be-used-in-courts/articleshow/5692225.cms and an earlier one at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Delhi-high-court-to-examine-if-retired-judge-can-work-privately/articleshow/5557490.cms

The questions are:

1. Whether rendering opinions in writing on a point in issue to be produced in a court of law is a violation of article 124(7) of the Constitution which prohibits a retired judge from acting or pleading before any court or tribunal.
2. Can retired SC Judges' advice be used in courts?

Thoughts anyone?
