In re this plea, here's a piece @j_chitrakshi and I wrote for @scroll_in back in March, warning that the 'in-house' process was inherently unfair - this is no longer about Justice Varma but all judges who may be the target of such inquiries in the future:scroll.in/article/108076…

Here's a piece I wrote a few months ago on my track record in regularly losing cases before Heeralal Samariya, the Chief Information Commission: newslaundry.com/2025/02/04/how…
