Supreme Court observed that whenever a Judicial Officer having good track record resigns, an attempt is made by the Senior Judges of the High Court to counsel and persuade to withdraw the resignation. Losing a good Judicial Officer without counselling him/her and without giving him/her an opportunity to introspect and re- think, will not be in the interest of either the Judicial Officer or the Judiciary. The Supreme Court further said that 'to constitute a 'resignation', it must be unconditional and with an intent to operate as such.' Resignation is a voluntary surrender of a position by the one resigning, which should be made freely and not under duress. The petitioner's resignation was made in exasperation and frustration and this injustice was being done by the very own Institution of Judiciary.
