Came across a report "Justice Bechu Kurian recuses from hearing Church cases"
It is observed that such recusals by the judges occur at the last minute thereby delaying the hearing in the cases further. Will it not be advisable to obtain the concurrence of the judges concerned before allocating cases (at least the sensational ones) to them? And, I wonder why the judge(s) choose to recuse from a case allocated to him, whatever be the reason, unless there is a personal interest in the issues involved. Aren't the judges duty bound to hear and deliver judgement in cases allotted to them? If the cases are to be handled by the judges based on religion etc., it will lead to a wrong precedent, I am afraid
