Supreme Court dismisses claim of judge's bias regarding settlement offer due to lack of valid grounds.

The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's claim alleging that the lower court judge was biased in making a settlement offer. The applicant argued the judge had a conflict of interest stemming from prior involvement in the case, but failed to provide sufficient evidence of actual bias. The court ruled that without concrete proof of an impartiality violation, the objection to the settlement procedure was invalid.
