The same day, the state’s Bharatiya Janata Party government issued an order removing him from the post. Commercial court judges are appointed by state governments in concurrence with the High Court.
Two weeks later, the high court stayed Gupta’s order that imposed a Rs 50-lakh fine on the Adani-led firm and directed the Rajasthan government to request the Comptroller and Auditor General to audit the deal between the state and the conglomerate.
