What happened
A High Court has suspended two district judges with immediate effect. The suspension is linked to ongoing disciplinary proceedings, so the judges remain out of office while the inquiry process continues.
Background and earlier position
District judges form part of the subordinate judiciary, and High Courts exercise administrative control over the lower judiciary. Disciplinary proceedings are one of the institutional tools used to address misconduct or alleged irregularity while protecting the integrity of the justice system.
