AI generated

The Supreme Court excluded Judge X.Y. from adjudicating the cassation appeal against the lower court's judgment. The conflict arose because the appellant's client, B.K., is a shareholder in the defendant bank, which is the opposing party in the underlying dispute. The court ruled that this personal stake created an unavoidable conflict of interest, necessitating the judge's withdrawal to ensure impartiality.
