They will replace Judge Bharat Parashar, who has completed six years
The Supreme Court on Monday appointed Arun Bhardwaj and Sanjay Bansal as Special Judges to preside over two separate courts and continue trials in 41 pending cases in connection with the coal block allocation scam.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India Sharad A. Bobde decided on the two senior judges on the basis of a panel of names handed over by the Delhi High Court Registrar General.
The Supreme Court on Monday appointed two special judges Arun Bharadwaj and Sanjay Bansal to continue with the trial of the Rs 1.75 lakh coal scam cases pending since 2014.
A bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde passed the order appointing the two judges in place of judge Bharat Parashar who has dealt with the case since 2014, when the top court had appointed a probe by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate into the allegations.
Judge Parashar had earlier made a request to be relieved of the duties as a special judge since he had already completed six years in the post.
