Context: SC asked Judges to follow roster, taking unassigned cases gross impropriety

More about the news:

The Supreme Court has emphasized the importance of adhering to the roster for assigning cases to judges, stating that judges must follow discipline and should not take up cases unless specifically assigned by the Chief Justice.
This statement was made during a hearing related to a civil writ petition allowing the clubbing of First Information Reports (FIRs) against some accused.
The accused had previously filed criminal writ petitions but turned to a civil writ petition to avoid a judge who had not granted interim relief.
The Supreme Court criticized this as a “gross abuse of the process of law” and described it as “forum hunting.”
The Court ordered the accused to pay Rs 50,000 to the Rajasthan State Legal Services Authority as a cost and directed that their conduct be brought to the notice of the relevant court handling petitions to quash the FIRs.

What is the roster system:

Roster is defined as a systematic planner to allocate different tasks to all the members in order to achieve higher efficiency.
