R. BalajiJustice Arun MishraNew Delhi: Justice Arun Mishra has recused himself from the case relating to the death of judge B.H. Loya, sources said on Tuesday night, suggesting that a partial solution is in sight to the controversy involving four senior judges and the Chief Justice of India. The sources said Justice Mishra, who had reportedly turned emotional on Monday, recused from the case late on Tuesday night and requested Chief Justice Dipak Misra to constitute another bench. The allocation of the Loya case was cited as one of the instances that irked the four senior judges. The four senior judges had complained on Friday that the Chief Justice was allocating important cases to relatively junior judges.
