<h5>What was the high court judge’s complaint?</h5><p>Recently, an Allahabad High Court judge travelling via train from New Delhi to Prayagraj faced some discomfort.</p><p>The train was around three hours late. He complained that no pantry car workers came to provide refreshments. A call to the pantry car also remained unanswered. This caused inconvenience to the judge while he was travelling. He had a protocol officer send a complaint letter to railway authorities, demanding an explanation from the concerned officers.</p><p>But this complaint made by the judge has been criticised by the Chief Justice of India (CJI), <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/justice-dy-chandrachud-becomes-the-cji">DY Chandrachud</a>.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/cji-unhappy-about-misuse-of-facilities%2FComplaint.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=bbc9eb84-5dae-4b86-ac3b-a0528a6b660f"><figcaption>The complaint letter of the High Court judge sent by a protocol officer.

He said this to all High Court Chief Justices in the country. The CJI also said that protocol facilities should not be used in any way that causes difficulty to others or causes criticism to the judiciary.</p><p>He also mentioned that a High Court judge does not have disciplinary authority over railway employees. So, making a complaint and seeking an explanation was not right. A judge should always set an example for others to follow.</p><h5>What did we learn from this article?</h5><p>We learned that a person of authority must not use their powers in ways that cause inconvenience to others. Doing so can destroy the trust and respect one has for the person. Misusing one’s authority is not right in any situation.</p><p>So, do you support the CJI’s statement? Tell us in the comments!</p>

The CJI wrote a letter on the use of protocol facilities by judges.
