The letter pointed out a video in which Rajnath Singh was heard acknowledging the "escape" of the alleged contemnor, whose case was slated to be heard by Justice Chaudhary before his transfer.
The AFT Chennai Bar Association is the latest lawyers' association to join in registering protest to the transfer of judicial member, Justice Dharam Chand Chaudhary from the Chandigarh bench of AFT to the Kolkata bench.
The bar bodies condemned the transfer and stated that the core issue of the controversy does not only affect the bar and bench in Chandigarh but also impacts the legal and judicial fraternity across the country.
