Harish Salve recuses as amicus curiae in SC's Covid hearing

  • 3 years ago
Senior advocate Harish Salve has appealed to the Supreme Court to be recused as the amicus curiae to assist the court in the suo motu proceedings over the Centre's handling of the Covid-19 crisis in India.

Harish Salve has said this case is perhaps one of the most sensitive cases that the court will handle in its existence.

"The country is on tenterhooks. This is one of the most sensitive cases the court will ever handle. I don’t want it to be taken up under a shadow that I was appointed as the amicus because I know the CJI," said Harish Salve over allegations made by critics and the Opposition since the Supreme Court hearing on Thursday.
