Recusal Application

What is the procedure in a High Court for making application to a presiding judge to recuse himself from the proceedings?  The grounds are apprehension of bias.    Will such an application automatically invite a show cause notice for contempt?

 

Alternately should one file an application to the

chief justice to transfer the case to some other judge?

 

Thanks in advance

It will be appropriate to apply for transfer of case.

As stated by Mr.Boda, it not only advisable but also appropriate to file transfer application in such a case.

Since the matter is pending before high court, no such transfer petition is required.

Letter/ Representation to chief justice will do, otherwise wait till change of bench.
