Justice Dutta recuses from hearing

Justice Kant said that Justice Dutta has recused himself from the hearing and it will now be placed before Chief Justice Justice DY Chandrachud for listing before the appropriate bench. Justice Dutta has not given any reason for recusing himself from the hearing. Mehta said, “This is a serious security issue. Malik has been brought to the court due to the negligent attitude of the jail authorities and necessary steps will be taken to ensure that this does not happen in future. He is a danger to the nation. He is a major safety hazard to others.”
