Four days after they were forced into retirement, the law ministry issued a gazette notification Sunday night repealing the earlier notification.

The Central Secretariat, which is in the heart of the national capital, July 27 witnessed a noisy demonstration by around 100 judges who arrived in several buses and sought entry without prior appointment.

The government called in the police and the elite Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).
