Delhi high court judge, later Manipur CJ, had LPG agency during tenure

Justice Siddharth Mridul, who later served as Chief Justice of Manipur High Court, allegedly ran an LPG distributorship while holding a judicial position, which has raised questions about compliance with judicial ethics. The Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited issued notices claiming contract violations, leading to the suspension of his agency. This situation highlights potential conflicts of interest and the importance of maintaining judicial integrity, especially when dealing with commercial enterprises. The case underscores the scrutiny faced by former judges who engage in private business during or after their tenure.
