The Supreme Court dismissed the judge's request to recuse himself from the proceedings regarding his own employment status. The plaintiff, a judge, sought to exclude the presiding judge from the case involving his potential dismissal by the State Treasury. The court ruled that a judge cannot recuse himself from a case where he is a party, as this would undermine the principle of impartiality rather than ensure it.
