Multiple reports say a former Delhi High Court judge, Justice Siddharth Mridul (later Chief Justice of Manipur), is under scrutiny over allegations that he continued to hold an LPG distributorship while serving as a judge. According to the accounts, the LPG dealership was registered under his name and operated during his judicial tenure, which critics say conflicts with judicial ethics and conduct requirements. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), the oil marketing PSU involved in the case, is reported to have issued notices to the judge regarding alleged contract or dealership-related violations. Following the allegations, BPCL suspended the LPG distributorship registered in his name. The reporting describes the dispute as centered on whether the judge maintained a commercial energy dealership while in judicial office. No consistent finding is reported across the sources about guilt or final adjudication; the articles focus on the allegation, BPCL’s notices, and the suspension of the distributorship during the ongoing controversy.
