SDM can't hear cases when he wants to; giving judicial duties to administrative officers not a good idea: Allahabad HC
The Court said that if judicial functions are conferred upon administrative officers, they must dispose of their judicial work first before taking up any administrative duties.
The Allahabad High Court recently observed that entrustment of judicial duties to administrative officers, who preside over cases according to their convenience, was not a good idea [Amar Singh Yadav v. State of UP and Others].
