Controversies and Allegations
Justice Prasad created nationwide controversy in judicial circles, when as part of a Supreme Court bench, he dragged to itself and decided within two minutes, on an oral plea, a 12-year-long battle in favour of the winning bidder, for 88 acres of public land allotted at a throwaway price of Rs 33 crore, the market value of which is around Rs. 2500 crore. This 35-hectare Cidco prime land allotment case, which was listed before a three-judge SC bench, caused a senior lawyer to question the bench's judicial propriety.[2][3][4]
