I was on verge of being sacked: Ex-SC judge Markandey Katju
In his book 'Whither Indian Judiciary', former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju has said he "was almost sacked" following his 1992 order reinstating a teacher whose appointment was cancelled by an Uttar Pradesh school. The teacher's appointment had been cancelled on the grounds that the seat was reserved for a Scheduled Caste candidate while the teacher was an OBC candidate.
