印度最高法院于2026年1月5日恢复Nirbhay Singh Suliya法官的职务,裁定司法错误本身不能成为采取惩戒行动的理由。 India's Supreme Court reinstated Judge Nirbhay Singh Suliya on Jan. 5, 2026, ruling that judicial errors alone cannot justify disciplinary action.

印度最高法院于2026年1月5日推翻了2014年中央邦法官Nirbhay Singh Suliya的解职,裁定单凭司法错误(如不一致的保释决定)不能证明采取纪律行动是合理的。 The Supreme Court of India on January 5, 2026, overturned the 2014 dismissal of Madhya Pradesh judge Nirbhay Singh Suliya, ruling that judicial errors alone—such as inconsistent bail decisions—cannot justify disciplinary action. 由JB Pardiwala法官和KV Vishwanathan法官领导的法院强调,对行政报复的恐惧使审判法官无法行使酌处权,特别是在保释案件中,并警告说,这种恐惧破坏了司法独立,助长了上诉。 The court, led by Justices JB Pardiwala and KV Vishwanathan, stressed that fear of administrative reprisal is deterring trial judges from exercising discretion, especially in bail cases, and warned that such fear undermines judicial independence and fuels appeals. 该裁决强调,只有经证明的不当行为或腐败才需要采取行动,高等法院必须避免仅仅根据判决错误或怀疑启动诉讼程序。 The ruling emphasized that only proven misconduct or corruption warrants action, and High Courts must avoid initiating proceedings based on mere judgment errors or suspicion. 法院恢复了Suliya的地位,并下令以利息支付全额回扣,这加强了在确保问责制的同时保护司法自主权的必要性。 The court restored Suliya’s position and ordered full back pay with interest, reinforcing the need to protect judicial autonomy while ensuring accountability.
