'Judges should respect roster, hear only Chief Justice-assigned cases'

The Supreme Court has emphasized that judges must adhere to the roster system and should not entertain cases that have not been assigned to them. The court stated that taking up a case without the specific assignment by the chief justice is a breach of discipline and a gross impropriety. Order was passed while quashing an order by the Rajasthan High Court, where a civil writ petition was filed instead of a criminal writ petition.
