Question 2 of 5
Consider the following statements regarding Recusal of Judges.
- Recusal of Judges implies that, when there is a conflict of interest, a judge can withdraw from hearing a case.
- The practice comes from the principle that nobody can be a judge in her own case.
- There are no formal rules governing Recusal of Judges.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: d)
There are instances where Supreme Court judges have recused themselves from hearing cases.
Why does a judge recuse?
When there is a conflict of interest, a judge can withdraw from hearing a case to prevent creating a perception that she carried a bias while deciding the case.
The practice stems from the cardinal principle of due process of law that nobody can be a judge in her own case.
The decision to recuse generally comes from the judge herself as it rests on the conscience and discretion of the judge to disclose any potential conflict of interest. In some circumstances, lawyers or parties in the case bring it up before the judge. If a judge recuses, the case is listed before the Chief Justice for allotment to a fresh Bench.
There are no formal rules governing recusals, although several Supreme Court judgments have dealt with the issue.
Since there are no formal rules governing the process, it is often left to individual judges to record reasons for recusal. Some judges disclose the reasons in open court; in some cases, the reasons are apparent.
