Karnataka HC Judge Justice Jayant Patel Resigns

Karnataka High Court Judge, Justice Jayant Patel has resigned from service, because of  non-elevation to Supreme Court, despite his seniority. While the issue of Justice Patel’s elevation has been brought up several times in the past, the final stroke seems to have been his transfer to Allahabad High Court, where he was to be the third senior-most Judge to be uplifted for Supreme Court.
