Delhi high court judges shuffled; Ajay Gupta to tackle paper leaks

Judge Ajay Gupta has been assigned to preside over the designated special fast-track court for trial of criminal cases involving question paper leaks.

The Delhi High Court ordered a reshuffle, transferring and assigning new postings to 138 judicial officers, including 13 judges designated to special courts.

The reassignment follows the transfer of judicial officer Anu Grover Baliga, who was appointed as special judge (Prevention of Corruption Act) (CBI)-25 and posted to an NIA Act special court.

Of the 13 special courts, four will hear NDPS Act cases, three MCOCA cases, two UAPA Act cases, and four NIA Act cases.

The special courts will be inaugurated on August 3 by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Delhi High Court Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya.
