I thought so too but could you elaborate on this. Suppose Justice A has practiced (specialized if you must) criminal law for years, would he sit in on the trial case for forgery, company embezzlement and fraud? For Ex. the Satyam case - would that be heard in a special court for Company affairs or by Justice A? -- .
